Ross;
You might want to take a look at SAMBA (SMB) which comes with most
distros. With that you should be able to pipe the output of your
printing to a samba command similar to this:
\\windows_machine\printername -N -P -c 'cat -'
We do this in production to send server program output dynamically to
the printers attached to remote Windows desktops.
see www.samba.org
