I had a problem printing from Linux to Win2000 and got around it like this:

1. From the Win2000 CD install the Print Services for Unix
2. Start the TCP/IP Printing Service from the Admin Tools/Services
3. Tell Linux to use an LPD printer at the ip address of your Win2000 box
with the queue name of the share of your printer (mine is 192.168.1.4, hp).

Works like a dream and gets around the SMB sharing issue with Win2000 which
I am sure must be something to do with encrypted passwords.
