Sharing a printer

I got the following setup:
192.168.1.1 Router
192.168.1.2 RedHat 8 server with a HP DeskJet connected to the parallel port.
192.168.1.3 RedHat 8/Windows 2000 dualboot client
192.168.1.4 RedHat 8/Windows 2000 dualboot client
192.168.1.5 Windows 2000 client
I got Samba setup and working on all the Linux computers, so I thought the easiest way to let all the clients print to the printer would be to share the printer with Samba. However, I'm not sure how I would go about setting up the printer. I used CUPS to print to it from the server, but when I try to print from any of the other computers, it just doesn't print. When I click the printer in Network Neighborhood on the Windows 2000 computers, it tells me that the printer doesn't work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. //Daniel
