Mainly this depends on the printer; if there is a CUPS driver, it
should be as simple as sharing the printer on the Windows system
(and preferably add the TCP/IP Printing service so your Windows
system accepts the jobs via LPD) and then setting up a queue on the
CUPS system pointing to the Windows system.
