In NT4, it's a service (I think) you need to add in the network setup.
Then, add a new TCP/IP printer port in the add printer dialogs.
When I have done the same thing in W2K, add a new local printer (uncheck
the Auto detect P&P printer box), Create a new port, and choose "Standard
TCP/IP Port".
Don't know anything about XP.
As for Win9x, we have used LPR Spooler by Thomas Heil. This package was
purchased by our Campus Computing people as part of a software suite. I
don't know about any free implementations (not that they don't exist, just
that I don't know of any).
