Does the win95 computer use the samba wins server ? (the problem seems
to be there ..)
Look in the /var/lock/samba/wins.dat on the 10.44 and look if the
win95 computer is listed there. If not check the wins setting in '95.
Also double-check your network setting on the machine you want to print
from,
esp. the netmask and broadcast settings (netmask of 255.255.0.0 is quite
unusual)
