You said that the printer was on the LTP port of your linux server. It 
does not have an IP. The linux server has an IP and is sharing the 
printer. As your screenshots indicated, you pick the printer off of your 
linux server (which does not have the XP printer driver) and then use a 
downloaded xp printer driver from the Internet.
