You need samba, to share your printer on the network for
Windows operating systems. If you have Windows NT, then
you only have to install TCP/IP printing on the NT box
as additional service. After that you can directly print
to the FreeBSD machine via lpd protocol.
You might be interested in installing apsfilter on the FreeBSD
machine, if your printer is a PS printer or is supported by gs,
which acts as a Postscript emulator.
