You're going to have the tweak the if= so that the apsfilter output
will be submitted to the NT box, eg something like:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Raw output to a smbprinter
#
SMBPRINTER=//NTMACHINE/NTPRINTER
RAWFILE=/tmp/lpd.$$
cat > $RAWFILE
/usr/local/bin/smbclient $SMBPRINTER -U guest -N -c "put $RAWFILE"
rm -f $RAWFILE
