Question Add Windows Printer

I have next to no knowledge of Unix, but have managed to do most of what I've needed to so far. I'm stuck however on adding a printer to the list of Unix printers that is a network printer.

I have no printers connected directly to my Unix box, but need to be able to print from an application, running on a windows 95 box using TUN emulator. I have found the printer configuration list, but cannot figure out how to add one of my w2k shared printers to the list of printers on the Unix box. can this be done? And, if so, how do I go about setting it up?

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Jamie

I have a little experience in this but I don't know what operationg system you are using?
can you add this to the hosts file first? and then add a generic printer que?
vi /etc/hosts
\\systemname\printername or IP
