Printing from SCO 5.05... to XP Shared Printer

I am having trouble getting our accounting program (on SCO 5.05) to print to a shared windows printer. We used to use a program that took care of this PCI print server or somehting like that. but when XP service pack 2 got installed somethign happened with the permissions and the files would print fine but would not delete out of the folder causing the fiel to print over and over. Anyways, I have installed the print services for UNIX on the XP box and configured a printer best as i could follow the instructions rom www.aplawrence.com. when i try a test print using
cat filename | lp -d unixtest
the print job just sits in the unix cue
i have also tried netcat with the command
cat filename | netcat -h 192.168.0.23 -p 515
515 is the lpr port opened by the unix print service on the windows xp box as best i can figure. when i try this command it appears to work but nothing comes out on the XP shared printer. when this command is run there is nothing in the printe cue so i do not know where the job goes. Please help if anyone has any thoughts.

system-config-printer-applet

SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)						     Man pages						     SYSTEM-CONFIG-PRIN(1)

NAME

       system-config-printer-applet - print job manager

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-printer-applet [--help] [--version] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out
       when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting
       jobs.

       To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke
       the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so
       that it should appear in the system menu.

       As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the
       com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version of the applet.

       --debug
	   Show debugging information.
