Fix your access rights on your NX client. It seems it does not allow
printing for anonymous users. Look for the "share" properties of the
printer....

Also, try to insert the username to use in kprinter's configuration:

 "kprinter" --> "Expand..." or "Options>>" --> "System Options" --> 
            --> "CUPS server" --> "Account Information" --> 
            --> remove check from "Anonymous" and insert your username
                (the one you use on your local Win NX client)

Not sure here.

But if you can see it via the browser, on port 10000, you should be
able to do

 "kprinter" --> "Expand..." or "Options>>" --> "System Options" --> 
            --> "CUPS server" --> "Server information" --> "Port" --> 
            --> change it to 10000

(Be aware, that in your next NX session, this port may be different from
10000).
