CUPS: The common unix printing system. Comes loaded with drivers.
There's even instructions on how to setup printing to a printer running on
a windows system.
Stage 1 is to be able to "smbclient -L" the windows server and see the
printer share.
Stage 2 is some "ln -s" to point cups at the smb spooler or something
Stage 3 is going to port 631 on the linux computer via a browser and
configuring the cups printer.
