On your windows box, share the printer. 

On Ubuntu (I am using KDE as an example here because it is what I am 
logged into atm; Gnome is much the same).  Start the 'Printer Manger', 
click 'Add', pick 'SMB Printer (Windows)' and follow the directions.

If the automatic scan does not find the shared printer, just type in 
your workgroup name, name of windows box and the name of the share 
(printer) on the windows box (you can find all of this info from your 
windows system).

If you need more specific instructions let me know (I just did this to 
verify it all worked).
