Since your accessing from an NT, why not
setup lpr/lpd as a service on your NT, then
setup your local printer as a remote printer from linux
and have pine print to the remote printer which would
   then get printed on your NT local printer. The only
   caveat, is if it's an HP printer, you will need to
   run the print job through a lf -> cr/lf conversion
   first, which isn't really that bad, since you can
   setup your printer in pine to do that then pipe to lpr.
