Jeez, could you give us any LESS info?
Your best bet is a network printer
(ethernet ready) that has both mac and pc
drivers. Then you can hook it up to both
machines (or any number of them) and
print till you are '100% Cyan + 48%
Magenta + 30% Yellow' in the face.

None of Apple printers work in a PC. There are not
exist drivers for them.

Most printers come with both Mac and Windows driver software (and you can download software from vendors' sites), though obviously check before you buy. USB is usually a good sign. Just had a quick look on PC World and Amazon, and every single one was Mac compatible.
