Can a standalone NT 4.0 server in a domain print to a networked printer in the same domain? If so, what rights do I give?

If the standalone server has been joined to the domain as a member server, it can make use of any domain resource including a networked printer.

The rights depend on the source of what you're printing. If, for example, you want to do screen prints while you're logged on, then it is your user account that will need permissions on the printer. If it's a service or program, it will depend on the context under which the service or program runs and you may need to create or use an appropriate service account.

If this NT Server is a member server of domain then you can print using shared printer. Your printer permissions depend on your own permissions and permissions of groups you are member of.
Domain Users has Print permission.
Printer Operators has Manage Documents permission.
Admins has Full Control permission.
