If you are running the default Gnome GUI desktop go the the
"Applications" menu on the panel, select "System Settings" and then the
"Printing" application. It should walk you though setting up a
Windows/SMB printing.
One thing you may need is a windows user name & password to print to the
windows printer if the "Guest" account is turned off in windows.
