Yes, I am using a print-server with its own IP-address (not so expensive
if you find one on ebay). Try to find an lpd-server for Windows NT e.g.
mlpd (e.g. on www.shareware.com) to enable this service on your Windows NT
machine.

The other way would be to connect the printer to the Amiga and to use
Samba on the Amiga-side. this works also fine.
