Setup:

I have a LAN connecting my Linux box and a Windows computer.
The Windows computer has a printer that is not supported by Linux.
Is it possible to print to it over Samba?

(That is, does going over samba make Windows supply the device driver,
or is there a way I can share a dummy postscript printer which will
redirect the output appropriately?)

It works the other way around. Using a native driver on the Linux server
side and a generic Postscript driver on the Windows side, so i don't see
why not. Cups doesn't seems to care which type of data it sends to the
printer.
