You have to configure printers that are not controlled by CUPS on other
systems, but one you do, CUPS will detect other CUPS and find the printers
for you. I use KDE and when I print anything it just gives me a list of
printers to choose from..
The admin manual shows up to set up printers (with the URI) on the lp port of
using Windows networking.
