In this case it is *not* purely what is commonly called a Winprinter.
You say you "know" it is compatible. Well, then first make it print
when it is hooked (at the parallel port, I suppose?) directly to the
Debian box (as root):
lpadmin -p sscript610 -v parallel:/dev/null -E -m laserjet.ppd
Test if it prints with that PPD....
Then check if the "smb://" backend is available on your Debian:
lpinfo -v | grep smb
If it is not there, create it:
ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
(I suppose you get an answer to the question "which smbspool"....)
Then you should hook it back at your Win98 box. Supposing you have
"shared" it, install it on the Debian with this command:
lpadmin -p ss610w98 -v smb://[Win98netbiosname]/[superscriptsharename] -E -P /etc/cups/ppd/sscript610.ppd
Check if it is installed:
lpstat -t
Print.
Oh, and don't forget to read up at

next time you sit in fron of your Debian box....
