XP, true to its NT roots, can speak LPR; try Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, something like "Other Network Printing".  It'll have "Print Services for UNIX" which is LPR.

Yes, as Ray said, that microsoft link *is* helpful, when combined with :

http://www.uark.edu/campus/compserv/softsys/pc/win2kxp/features.html

and see "Receiving print via TCP/IP"
