The 5.5 Communicator has a good Technical article on the
Network Printing functionality available.  That, along with
Native Mode spooler manual on the LaserRom were enough
to get everything setup and running within 30 minutes
(I actually took the time to READ the articles, and
that is included in the 30 minutes!).  There are also
a couple of sample files in PUB.SYS that you can look
at for examples.  I basically copied the first sample
into NPCONFIG, made a few editing changes and was done.
(You do have to setup an LDEV via SYSGEN first though).

  The overall functionality is pretty good, I can't
complain.  I now share my LaserJet IIIP between my
HP3000, two Windows 95 PC's, and a NT 4.0 PC.

ok I haven't read the install manual all the way though.

but... is there a section in there on connecting & configuring the
networked printers. That's one of the things I will really want to do
once I get this 5.5 up and going. I have to wait for some of my 3rd
party software however and I need time that I can  have the system
down. Since I just ordered another 4 gig I guess maybe I should wait
and install the O/S and the new drive at the same time.
