The IP-address in your printcap file, is that the IP-address
of the Windows server or the address of the actual printer ?

What does "isolated" mean ? A firewall ?

Then open up port 515 between the IP-addresses of the
VMS server and the printer (or the Windows server, it's
yet not clear which one you'd like to print to).

Or, if you're not allowed to access the printer directly,
make *SURE* that LPD is started on the *Windows* server,
if you're allowed to access that one...
