See http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterNoPP.htm for a possible
workaround.

Since you have already installed the printer locally, a variation of this
workaround is:
1. click Start, Printers
2. click File, Run as Administrator, Server Properties (click Continue or
provide administrative credentials)
3. select the Ports tab
4. click Add Port
5. select Local Port; click New Port
6. in the "Port Name" box, key the UNC name of the Samsung SCX-4100 printer
as defined on the Windows 2003 server - e.g.
\\printservername\printersharename; click OK; click Close; click Close
(close the Print Server Properties window)
7. in the Printers window, right click on the Samsung printer you installed
locally and select Properties
8. select the Ports tab
9. click on the Port you just added (e.g.
\\printservername\printersharename) to add a check mark. The check mark
that was in LPT1 (or whatever port was previously selected) will be
automatically removed.
10. click OK

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
