Possibly correct, but IANAE and can't say for sure.
Is there anyway to use windows drivers under freebsd for the printer? (EG: like the ndiswrapper is used to make windows network drivers work under freebsd)
I haven't heard of anything, but keep reading, if you will...
When I plug in the printer to my freebsd4.10 machine into
the USB slot it comes up as a 'ugen' which says to me that
the computer doesn't know what the device is at all. I've tried
installing CUPs and looking for a suitable driver through CUPs
but couldn't find one. I'm now trying to find alternatives.
I would suggest trying aspfilter then, also in ports.
The printer has USB and parallel and prints fine under windows. What about if I put a windows box as my printer server and is it
possible to send printing through samba so that windows will
catch it and convert it to the crappy printer of mine? (EG: RAW --> Canon LBP-1210 windows drivers).

I do this at home via apsfilter (which automagically did most of the Samba stuff for me) to a HP 6110 multi-function on an XP box via Ethernet, so it might work for you, but YMMV....
HTH,
