First, don't top-post, it obfuscates reading.

The printer is shared with \\WWW-PC\hpLaserJ (not \\WWW-PC\print$, that is  
a directory that shares the drivers for windows hosts)
Go to http://localhost:631/ and add the printer with 'Windows Printer via  
SAMBA'. The address should be 'smb://WWW-PC/hpLaserJ'. If that works, you  
don't have to enter any password, otherwise use  
'smb://username:password@WWW-PC/hpLaserJ'.
