You can create two kind of ports (at least two). Namely: you can create "raw" port, and give there IP address of the printer. This printer has to listen to "jetdirect" port (9100) for this to work. The other way is if printer listens to LPD ("spooler") port (port number 515) (or better: print server, - I usually set up all printer to only accept print jobs from print server - easier to manage especially if something is wrong with some client). In this case, you need to enable two services on Windows side (through "turning on features"): UNIX printing related: "LPD Print Service" and "LPR Port Monitr". This teaches Windows talk UNIX printing language, you then create local port of type LPD (and put remote LPD server's IP there). I found this to be the most robust way of having Windows printing to UNIX print queues. I hope, this helps.
