Its advisable FIRST to check whether TCP/IP Printing is actually started on the nt4 server. If it's not then nothing is going to work. When the service is started, telneting to the server on port 515 proves that the server is listening for requests.
WHY it took so long to check this I don't know - I guess the fact that it is already working for other machines on the network (using some other protocol to print with) made me a bit too complacent - now back to adding those 50 printers........
