assuming oyur printer is connected to the rh box... and 
lets say your /etc/printcap looks something like...

	lp|Xerox|Xerox DocuPrint:
	:sh:\
        :ml=0:\
        :mx=0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:\
        :if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:

	# or whatever incoming printer filter you are using

means windoze is printing to its remote network printer ...
( samba stuff is working..

    vi /etc/printcap
	#
	rh|Printer on the RedHat Box:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
        :rm=rh:

	debian#  ping rh   -->> must resolve to the redhat box

	debian#  lpd stop and start it and you're done

	debian#  lpr -Prh  /etc/printcap
