Some assumptions: that the LW16/600 is connected to the AppleTalk network, rather than direct connected to a computer, that you have a Windows compatible driver for the LW16/600 printer, that the Apple computers can communicate to the Windows computers via AppleTalk. You will need to install the AppleTalk Protocol on the Windows computers that will print to the Apple Printer, then install the printer. The following was scripted for a Win2000 system:
1. Click the Start button, Move up to Settings, Move right and then down to Printers (this opens the Printers window).
2. Double click Add Printer (this opens the Add Printer Wizard window).
3. Click the Next button (the wizard needs to determine if your printer is attached to the network).4. Select Local Printer and make sure that the box next to Automatically detect and install my Plug and play printer is unchecked and click the Next Button (the wizard needs to determine your printer port).
5. Select Create a new port:, verify thatAppleTalk Printing Devices is displaying in the Type: field and click the Next button (this opens the Available AppleTalk Printing Devices window).
6. After a bit of searching, printers are displayed, select one and Click the OK button.
7. A box will pop up asking if you want to capture the device. *** Select NO!!! ***
8. After a bit of searching, the Add Printer Wizard needs to know; the Manufacturer.
9. The Add Printer Wizard needs to know what you want to call the printer, type the printer name.(if you want this to be your default printer, Click Yes) and click the Next button.
10. The Add Printer Wizard then needs to know about Printer Sharing, select Do not share this printer and click the Next button.
11. The Add Printer Wizard then needs to know if a Test Page should be printed, Yes should be highlighted click the Next button and then the Finish button.
12. A Digital Signature Not Found window may pop up asking if you want to continue the installation, Click the Yes button.
13. A window will pop up asking if the Test Page printed, Click the OK button. Printer is now installed.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Assuming that the Laserwriter 16/600 is connected directly to the network:
If you have at least 1 mac on the network that can run the apple laserwriter utility, you can assign an IP address to the printer. Then in Windows, use a TCP/IP port to connect to the printer during the Add New Printer wizard. If you are running Win9x/Me though, then you might need to get some LPR software to get the TCP/IP printing port set up. Here's a couple of links to software that should do it:

Again, if you are using Win2k (or XP?) you would not need this software. In fact, just to test it I just set up a connection to an old Laserwriter 16/600 in our office and it seems to work...
Hope this helps...

if you know the printer ip.
open it in the browser...and see whether can set it to DHCP and then apply..and restart the printer
Usually for printers, u have to set it static.
Another way .. is to share out the printer using the microsoft client for file and print sharing.With the printer attached locally to lpt port, whereby the attached pc will acts as a host for the printer..just go to network neighbourhood and add the client for file and print sharing
go to the printer folder and right click the printer and share it out,.
simple.
