None, for port 139 is not among.
I'd recommend you
- setup a windows machine (call it "printsrv") which can access the printer
(eg. via LPR protocol on port 515)
- install the drivers for several OS', so clients can autoinstall
- share it's printer to the other clients. Thus it will be addressed
by as \\PRINTSRV\LASER1.
But this is not debian specific anyway.
