I use something similar with an HP OfficeJet G85 printer.  It is
connected to a Windows 2000 box that I use as a print server.  I found
that setting up LPR printing on the windows box made it very easy to
connect from the linux systems and print to that printer.  

You might be able to find the instructions for setting up lpr on the
windows system in the archives.  Have passed that out before.  If you
have trouble finding it let me know and I can walk through it again.
