I've got an HP LaserJet 4V connected to the parallel port of my FBSD PC.
I use CUPS, so I share the printer with W2k over ipp (port 631).
Note: older W$ boxes (W96, W98) do not support ipp, I believe.
My firewall has:
  ${fwcmd} add check-state
  ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any established keep-state
  ${fwcmd} add allow log tcp from 147.46.44.0/24,147.46.50.0/24 to my.pc.ip.ad ipp in via rl0 setup

You seem not to be working with CUPS. In that case, why not using lpd (port 515)
instead of samba? I think that's more secure, than opening up your firewall for
all the funny M$-W$ ports.

W2k should support lpd printer sharing, if I'm not wrong. I'm not a M$-W$ expert though.

lpd is covered in the printer section of the handbook.
