Printer using port forwarding in Edubuntu

I have a workgroup printer in my ltsp edubuntu computer lab(setup with
the default two network cards, one connected to the school lan, and one
connected to the switch for ltsp). I would like to share that printer
with other computers within my school lan. The school computers use the
10.0.0.* ip addresses and the edubuntu ltsp clients are using the
192.168.13.*. I have used iptables before so I tried the following at
our ltsp server.
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 9100 -j DNAT
--to 192.168.13.234:9100
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -o eth1 --dport 9100 -j ACCEPT
When I tried the printer setup on our XP machines, the setup worked
well, but would not print the test page. I am not receiving iptables log
errors in kern.log or dmesg. Does anyone have any thoughts?
