Printcap Question Clarification

Maybe my original message was unclear or maybe I'm *really*
confused... I have setup an NT machine to act like a print server
(running lpd). The printer sits on the parallel port of this server. What
I need is a way to route print jobs to this server. I guess I am looking
for a printcap to route to another lpd machine. Will this work? As you
can see, I am confused.

Thanks.
Brad
