Yea....you can use samba to share the printer as you would share it between to windose machines...

Samba is the "filesharing software" for linux. It bridges the gap between windows in unix interms of filesharing.
( the preceding is an explanation of the top of my head...anyone with sumtin better)

Where can it be found: samba.org
