printing to my windows machine

[Noah John Gellner]

The windows machine is the Samba (SMB) host. You will need to share the
printer using windows then use Linux to browse your Samba share. I have
a similar setup but I found it much less hassle to use a print server.
That way I don't need to have both machines turned on to print. I think
that a print server costs around $50.
