Hi Deepak, You can configure the Windows printer on your Red Hat 8.0 by using the GNOME Print Manager or KDE Print Wizard (I am not exactly sure if Printing support is that great under Red Hat 8.0, but its definitely good in Red Hat 9.0).....Moreover, CUPS drivers work better with Laserjets, so I advise that you use CUPS instead of LPR...
A very good way of configuring your shared windows printer on linux machine is to use the Web based Printer Administration Tool...Just type this in any browser of your choice http://localhost:631 Just Follow the guidelines and I guess you will be able to set up your printer....mail me back in case u face any issue...
