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.

Only the lazer printers are compatible with PCs (through the network)
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.

Summary: I'm looking for a good quality photo-capable printer for my original Powerbook G3. It has no USB or Firewire so I can't use a lot of the newer printers. Any suggestions? ...
