Host IP should be the IP of the print server (the server handling the 
local queue; the unspooler). Printers don't have IP addresses. Print 
servers do.

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.

Host IP should be the IP of the print server (the server handling the 
local queue; the unspooler). Printers don't have IP addresses. Print 
servers do.

Also, careful with the backslashes in the share name. backslashes are 
escape characters to the C language (and many other languages). Usually, 
you have to use /'s instead. If that doesn't work, try using 
stprint\\itprint2
