Some printers come with both a parallel port and a network card. They
can connect directly to the network and run an internal print server
service. That service generally supports one or more of SMB, Netware, and
lpr/lpd.

Every HP printer that I've seen like this supports printing on the RAW
queue from lpr/lprng on a Linux box. You can also configure the printer to
log error and status messages to syslog on the Linux box.

In this case he wants to use the NT box as a print server. The config
steps he's taken should work after he's fixed the slashes. He might also
try just putting the printer name in the share box and leaving the
server name out. There is a separate box for the host IP.
