yes, you'd need ipmasqadm to set up port forwarding so
packets sent to a particular port on pc2 would be forwarded
to pc5. e.g.:
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $pc2_eth0_addr -R $pc5_addr 515
assuming that the windows host has a printer server that
talks the bsd printer protocol (possible). otherwise you'd
have to port forward samba traffic from pc1 and pc3 on to
pc5 and i'm not sure that would work (but it's worth a try).
it's probably best to run samba on pc2 and configure it
to be able to print to the hp and then pc1 and pc3 can
just ask pc2 to print for them. there'd be no port
forwarding required. use nat as a last resort, not a
a preemptive strike :)
