How to map Fedora 20 to Windows XP shared printer?

Hello... I recently installed Fedora 20-i386 on an old desktop to play around with it. Since I'm new to Linux and I'd also like to use an HP Deskjet that is hosted by a Windows XP system, I need to know if it is possible to do that, or is it better to host the printer from Linux? Do I need to install Samba in order to map to the printer hosted by Windows? I have other Windows 7 systems in my house that also map to the HP Deskjet so I don't want to disrupt their access. Any help or words of wisdom from experience would be appreciated. - Thanks
