What you suggested is not what Clarence was looking for. The printer is
hooked up to the lpt port of a machine running windows, not Linux. He is
looking for a way to route linux print jobs to the printer via windows
network.
Both: I don't think you can do that.
What you can do is hook it up as described, and then use the SAMBA package
to share the printer with the Windoz box. That's what I do.
