If you don't have your print server running Samba, I would recommend that you
implement it and create a printer share for your printer;then have to setup your
client (windows) to use a network printer server. Not only would this provide
print services (with typical windows interaction) but also provide file services
and could be set up as a Windows NT style domain controller
However you can still connect to using a standard LPR type connection. You will
need to add an additional service to your Windows system (if not already
installed):
Print services for Unix
Then use the network wizard to and specify your settings.
All interaction will be done over the network (between the client and server)
