What are the steps for setting up CUPS to print to my Windows printer. I am in

for network printing. How would you go about setting up cups? Do I need to
place an address or something of my windows machine?

The requirements said
"Windows 98/NT or better"
So I installed Linux.
Don't let a bad OS happen
