Default need TCP/IP printing via LPR for Win98se

I have a desktop running Win98se that is our main computer for email,
printing, etc. But now, I've moved my HP laser printer from LPT1 to a
network connection so the other laptops in the house
can print without having the Win98se computer running.

I used a little Netgear PS101 server, that attaches to the Centronics
connector, and the Netgear has an Ethernet RJ45 and power - really
nice solution.

I could just install the Netgear software,
but was looking for something more generic.


UPDATE..... installed the NetGear "add printer wizard" & works
fine,
but still would like to know what others have done for generic
software ?

Anyway - Win98se doesn't have the TCP/IP printing capability,
so what software have folks installed to support this type of
printing ?
