I have a windows XP machine with a printer shared out. How do I attach to my workstation and install that printer on the CentOS box so I can print out things?

you can use samba-client on the centos side. or install lpd on your windows box.
Ok... I am new to CentOS as you can guess. So I have no clue what Samba is. I looked for LPD on my XP box and couldn't find any articles on how to install an LPD port on my pc. The weblink someone posted as well was very difficult to follow so can someone give me a more easier approach to installing a printer? Let me give a few details that will help.
My computer is Windows XP and the printer is an HP 4200. I want the CentOS to print to that printer. Its already shared out. So now how do I make the connection and install the drivers?

I believe that you will find the information on setting up a printer (a smb/samba printer) in the 'system administration guide'

Sorry I must be blind as a bat because I cant find anything that has to do with printing in the way I need it. I found other printing information as if the printer was already installed but nothing on how to install a printer that is being hosted by a windows computer. I also cant seem to find a downloadable version of the CentOS manual.

If you want the pages on your own computer though, you can do something like this...
open a terminal
mkdir manuals cd manuals wget http://www.centos.org/docs/4/
which will download the entire set of html pages on to your computer in the 'manuals' directory which you can then use firefox -
'File' menu => 'Open file...'
then navigate to your manuals directory and choose 'index.html' and open it.
If you want PDF form, you could get that from 'upstream' provider...

Odd.. wget is not a recognized command. I never even herd of wget so it doesn't surprise me. Know of any other way? I am also looking for books to learn Linux since I have only been messing with it for...2 weeks now. I looked at the dummy books but they don't cover Red Hat. So am I suppose to get a dummy book for each flavor of linux or how does this work? Since I am using CentOS do I get the Red Hat dummies or what?

As root:

Then issue the commands.
No wonder the wget command didn't work nor did I recognize it. I was trying to download the books on my Windows Machine because I couldn't figure out how to install a printer on the CentOS machine. When I saw wget im thinking "odd I never seen that in windows however there are probably a lot of commands I haven't seen since I don't use the command line anyways". Johnny Hughes gave me the link to the PDF books off redhats site but there is so many im not sure which to get.

two books that were of inestimable use to me some time back are the Unix System Administration Handbook and the Linux Administration Handbook, both by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, and Trent Hein.
they're of great practical use, and they'll keep being useful long after you've progressed past the "dummies" stage. go buy them. :)
if you're only going to buy one, of course, buy the Linux book.

The Linux book is quite good and is used by the local community college in their Linux course. I have found it particularly useful when I have to do something on Debian or SuSE since there are differences and the book covers those in addition to RedHat/Clones. The book is not directed at flat out beginners, but slightly more advanced.
The SAMs books have been good in the past, though I have not looked at any of the ones since RH 6.2.
As suggested by another a book for RedHat Enterprise 4 would be directly applicable, and ones covering Fedora Core 3 would be the next closest and probably are in the bargain bin now.

If you are running the default Gnome GUI desktop go the the "Applications" menu on the panel, select "System Settings" and then the "Printing" application. It should walk you though setting up a Windows/SMB printing.
One thing you may need is a windows user name & password to print to the windows printer if the "Guest" account is turned off in windows.
