printing to windows


I am trying to print to a windows machine, and I am not sure if this is possible or what. I am assuming it will be through samba somehow. Has anyone ever done this or have a link or something to get me started?

printing to windows

Hi all,
I am trying to get my linux machine to use the printer hooked up to my
dads machine which is running Windows XP. I have managed to connect to the
printer using smbclient and print a text file.
[root@localhost samba]# smbclient -L bob
added interface ip=192.168.0.229 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
