This is an interesting little problem, one that I have come across here
at home.
Firstly, if there are cups drivers for the printer model, it really
shouldn't be a problem, just share the printer, find out its name, and
point cups at it. This assumes that samba is set up alright, which it
seems to be out of the box on LM8.0.
Now the fun part comes if you do not have such a driver. You need to
get Aladin Ghostscript for Windows and a little utility by the name of
Redmon. I can't remember exactly how this is set up, but basically you
share a generic postscript printer (Apple Color Laserwriter works well)
and redirect the input via Ghostscript to the windows drivers using
Redmon.
If this last thing is what you need, I can find out more details for you.
