You have essentially 2 options

1. Samba, which enables Linux to look like Windows Network Neighborhood. The
configuration file is /etc/samba/smb.conf.

2. LPR/LPD TCP/IP. This configuration necessitates editing the permission
file, /etc/lpd.perms where you have to turn on accepting 'remote' access to
the printer daemon. You turn on DEFAULT ACCEPT, then disallow whatever you
need to for security. You also have to have cups-lpd installed and enabled.

For more information, ask.
