You should also set it up in CUPS as a network LPD printer.  When you 
open the CUPS management web page, if you are adding a new printer 
definition, choose a name for it on the first screen, click continue and 
then when it asks for a Device:, select LPD/LPR Host or Printer.  Then, 
when it asks for Device URL:, enter something like 
lpd://192.168.1.160/P567062_P1 where you should of course substitute the 
name and port number for your Netgear Print Server.  Then select the 
manufacturer and model for your print driver.  You may need to set it as 
your default printer.  It should than be available in print dialogs that 
let you select the printer, or as the default printer in apps that only 
offer that in their print dialogs.
