I have a Netport Express running at the house and used with Samba
My Netport is a NetportExpress PRO/100 3 ports (2 par, 1 serial)

Here is my printcap:

epson|Epson_Stylus|printer_on_port1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rm=192.168.0.20:\
        :rp=LPT1_PASSTHRU:\
        :sh:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:

hplj4|LaserJet4|printer_on_port2:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rm=192.168.0.20:\
        :rp=LPT2_PASSTHRU:\
        :sh:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:

The Netport is 192.168.0.20, lpt1 is an Epson Stylus, lpt2 a LJ4+

The relavent portion of my Samba config:

[epson]
       comment = Epson_Color
       path = /samba/spool
       guest ok = Yes
       printable = Yes

[hplj4]
       comment = HP_LaserJet_4P
       path = /samba/spool
       guest ok = Yes
       printable = Yes

I believe I used the Intel Netport software running in Windows to find and
initally configure the Netport. The software is similar in function HP's
Jetdirect, except of course this is for Intel devices.  You can also use
the arp command (see Linux.pdf below).  After it gets an ip you can use a
web browser or telnet to config it further.  There should be a reset switch
on the set which will set it to a default config.  After that is should
allow TCP/IP and use DHCP.

Again, I have a Netport Express Pro100, yours may be different.
