If you browse the network, how does the pc see the printers? If you add the printer to the workstations (through addprinter) use the windows printer name assigned to it depicted in aprinters() or via set printer to name getprinter().

SET PRINTER TO NAME "HP Laserjet 5P"

works fine. I think you need to prepend the server name only if the print queue is not on the local machine.
