first, make sure the printer is listed below, and the printer you want
to print to is shared through the windows box. (it would be helpful to
have the actual network address of the printer like
\\server\printers\printername

http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cg


then it should be as simple as system> admin> printing choose add a
printer, then windows via samba, click search or enter the address of
the printer.
