Actually, the easiest way to print to Windows is by using CUPS as printing system (which is the preferred KDE printing system), and the easiest way to set up that is kcontrol. So this is not really off topic. Go to devices/printer and simply add your printer, the KDE printing system is quite slick, so you can even set up remote printers as user as you should be used to from Windows. To make nifty things with the printer, like setting up a booklet printer, you could re-share the printer using CUPS drivers from Windows. Printing under Linux was complicated until KDE solved that ;) But be careful about the printer drivers, there are multiple choices for many printer, with heavily varying quality (For example, one of the Laserjet drivers always choked when I used booklet/n-up printing, printing at what looks like 30 dpi or so... at least my Commodore MPS 802 had a better quality.).
