The first thing that comes to mind is to install "Printing Services For
Unix" so your W2K system becomes an lpd server.  Then set up an entry in
/etc/printcap, and print.

How do I print a document from my FreeBSD box 
over the network on that W2K box? 
In addition to Samba ... you should be able to use cups
to print.  I can't give details as I'm only just starting
to experiment with cups.

You can use apsfilter (http://www.apsfilter.org/index.html) with samba
to do this quite effectively.

Verify the model of printer against the list of support printers, and
(accordingly) it'll be fine.
