Most distro's default samba config should allow you to share the printer pretty easily. But if you dont, then you may want to loop into setting up LPD services (the original line printing deamon). Cups has lpd services availible, and there are drivers out there to allow windows to print to such printers (I think the newer versions of windows even have it included- never tried, though).
