If you're using CUPS, then an easy option might be to go to http://localhost:631/printers and set up a printer (after entering a password for root), and selecting 'Windows Printer via Samba' for the device.
If you're using KDE, then a printer can be configured in the KDE Control Center in the Printers section.
