What port is listed on the Properties box on the Win2k PC?
see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q255507
I'd think it should list the network share, e.g. \\samba2\hp4plus
like that.
What does your /etc/printcap have listed for the printer ports?
mine are:
:rm=192.168.2.2
:rp=raw
