Don't need WinLPR
You can actually get the same hardware setup to work using just Win2k's printer sharing and CUPS/Gimp-Print in OS X 10.2. The process is almost exactly the same as you outline with just a few changes. First, share the printer on the Win2k machine, giving permission to "Everyone" to print and manage documents. Then use the hint posted here earlier about turning on CUPS' SMB spooling (search for "cups smb" to find it). Then add the printer via the advanced tab in Print Center (option-click Add). Choose SMB as the type, HP as the make and whatever PCL driver you want from the list of models. Type in "smb://(win2k IP address)/(printer share name)" as the device URI.
Don't need WinLPR
I'm attempting to teach myself how to use unix; but it's like greek to me. Pardon if I sound like an end user. I set up my HP DJ 692c as described, the msg I get when I try to print to it is "Cannot connect to SAMBA, retry in 60 seconds". I believe I have CUPS' SMB spooling enabled... I think. Can anyone please tell me what I have missed?

There's another work-around without third-party LPD (but it takes a bit more work on the NT side). Ever since NT 3.5 there's been an option to install "TCP/IP printing" which gives LPR / LPD / LPQ functions to NT. I have other Unix boxes using this. There's a good technote on setting this up at this Microsoft Technet site .
