Install cupsys, cupsys-bsd (if you want to print with lp) and smbclient.
When defining the print queue in cups, use the smb:// device type and
point it to the windows print queue, and make sure you have access to
print to windows remotely. That's it, except you'll need to also find
a driver (ppd file) that works for linux.
