I use RPM by (http://www.brooksnet.com) it isn't a free product. But
it does work real nice, it is a lpd daemon. RPM will allow one
PC to have upto 20 queues, each queue can be any printer that
PC is capable of printing to, and to unix/linux it's just a remote
printer.
Since it going to an NT, I thought you could install from the
NT CD the remote printer service, then you could just setup the
linux machine queue as a remote printer on the NT (have never
tried this, since we had rpm working).
