I went through the same experience, without success.  I eventually got
the NT system administrator to load up TCP/IP-based remote printing,
for UNIX hosts:
(i.e. in your Linux printcap file, lp:lp=:rp=NT_host:rm=NT.somewhere.org)

They were reluctant because (unlike Linux/UNIX), they have no way of
ensuring that only selected hosts &/or users can access the printer.
But it works just fine.
