Hi Richard!!
To add to what Marc has written, Rendezvous also, has to be
supported by the printer that you are using.
It is not inherently supported by any printer attached to and
shared from a Mac.
Also, FYI, I was able to successfully connect to
'HP Laserjet 4200' from a Windows XP machine with
rendezvous installed.
Hope that helps!!
