Trying to print via Airport Extreme base station and a USB printer?

Background: I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer connected by USB to an
Airport Extreme base station. My iMac is connected to the base station via
an ethernet cable.

Using Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3, I've set up the Epson printer to print from
Win2000 in a virtual machine in VirtualPC 6 which is running in the iMac.
The setup process for the printer completed OK, without a hitch. (By the
way, I loaded the printer driver from the printer's disk, because the driver
for the Epson Stylus Photo 820 isn't one of the drivers selectable from the
Bonjour window.)

Problem: When I try to print via the route that I set up using Bonjour, an
error message appears, stating:
- There was an error found when printing the document
"mhtml.mid://00000047/" to IP-extreme986254.local.9100"\

(Note: extreme986254 is the name of the network I configured in the base
station. Otherwise, the network is working OK. Also, Win2000 in VPC6 is
connected to the internet OK.)

When I re-try printing, I get the same error message.

When I hook the printer directly to the iMac by USB and then set it up as a
printer for Win2000 in that configuration, I have no trouble printing to the
printer.

How can I get the printer working as a network printer?

(Note: I once had the printer working as a network printer - so I know
that's possible.)

Hi Paul

Having ensured that the Epson printer is the default printer on the Mac
side, the same error message (effectively***) arises when I try to print to
that printer from Win2000. (*** Only the number of the document, as stated
in the error message, has changed - by a few tens of digits.)

Since then, I have deleted and re-installed the printer on both the Mac side
and the VPC side. That has not changed what happens when I try to print
from that printer in the stated configuration (i.e. from Win2000 via Airport
Extreme and USB).
