I don't think this will work. I'm using Cups as my Samba/Linux 
printing system and the Cups documentation specifies to setup 
the printer as lpd://ip address/LPT1_PASSTHRU in Cups. Note 
that in order to print directly from a Windows box to the 
Netport, you need to install software from the Netport CD onto 
Windows. This allows you to create an 'Intel Network Port' on 
the Windows box. I believe that it is this port that allows 
printing to the Netbios path on the Netport.
