You must use samba to "broadcast" the printer. That way, windows can see it.
The entry will look like

[samsung_printer]
        comment = On the Linux box
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        printer name = samsung_printer

The KDE Control Center module is, as far as I know, only the workstation
side's setup for CUPS.

However, CUPS usually has a web interface reachable on port 631, e.g.
http://localhost:631/ in any browser should get  you there.
