Hi Gary,

Not really Debian related anymore but here is a quick answer.

Find the ip-number for the printer, add a LOCAL printer manually in Win2k and 
create a new port, a standard tcp/ip-port. Enter the ip-number.

Now the fun part starts, finding a printer driver as the Win2k driver model is 
different from WinXP. WinXP could still use older Win2k driver but that is no 
help to you now.
Look for a black and white printer using just PCL and print a test page. Try 
that first and if it works go for a color printer using PCL.
According to the HP site you printer speaks HP PCL 3 GUI and HP PCL 3 Enhanced
