Back up and start over.   NetBEUI is a red herring.   Printer sharing
utilizes this protocol.  Even so, The TCP stack on all Windows versions
supports (tunnels) NetBEUI so all you need is to see is "TCPIP" in the
connection's setup.

Linksys provides a driver that loads "print server" software on your
computer.  This provides the ability to create a network printer port (over
TCPIP) that enables to you print to a printer attached to the parallel port
on the LinkSys.  NetBEUI is not involved in this part of the problem.  If
you wanted to share the printer to other computers in your workgroup, then
netBEUI would come into play.  Again, though, it is there by virtue of
having TCPIP loaded.

Go to their website and dowload it if you don't have it on CDROM.  Full,
simple, instructions are also available there.

I just did one a week ago and it is a piece  'o cake.

I'm surprised (no I'm not) that tech support couldn't tell you this.
