If you have Cups installed it is a breeze to get printing to a
windows printer setup. It takes less then 2 minutes to configure it
in cups and just works. The only part I had trouble with was the
address format of the win printer, which I found by googleing and
reading the cups docs.
>From my Cups Printer setup:
Device: Windows printer via Samba
Device URL: smb://winme/Epson (the Windows Box/The printer )
Hope this helps
