printing with Ubuntu in Windows network

I tried to use a printer in Windows network. It works like Steve says, 
Ubuntu recognizes the printer but when I try to print an Office document, it 
hangs and doesn't print, the whole Ubuntu system freezes. I don't know if it 
is the system's fault or Windows printer doesn't recognize Open Office 
documents...
Raf.
