samba - Jan 2002 - static wins entry??

I am trying to add a static WINS mapping for a computer on a remote
network, so that I can access shared printers on that system.  There is
not a samba server on that network, and clients on the remote network
login to the samba PDC on the main network.
As I understand adding a line to LMHOSTS only works for the local
machine and will not resolve for clients.
Does anybody know how to add static WINS mappings, or know of a valid
workaround??

Thanks!!!

Check the list archives.  You can manually add an entry to wins.dat
with an infinite TTL.  I don't remember the exact syntax of the top of my
head.
