Alejo, thanks for your link, I now have a clear view. I want to use the default (LPR?) printing system on SuSE 9.0; I don't want to install CUPS. It's mandatory?
There is no reason in the world to use other printing system than CUPS. CUPS can emulate LPR, if you need that. Focus on CUPS.

You need to have routing in place, be able to ping from machine in LAN A to machine in LAN B. Then you need one WINS server for both networks, and point all the Windows stations to use that one WINS server. That can be easily achieved with a DHCP server. option netbios-name-servers
