[Lug-Nuts] newbie printing stuff

Could somebody point me in the right direction for printer configuration?
I put a linux box on my home network (such as it is) and my printer is hooked
to my main windows machine. My kid prints to my printer, no problem, using the
share name, from his windows machine. How do I set something up like that in
KDE? I got Samba working, and we can all ping each other. I couldn't find a
man page for it and KDE help was less than helpful. I figure I must have to
set up a printer share in smb.conf that points to my windows machine, but so
far that doesn't appear to work, or I have the syntax wrong for the share name
or something. What should it look like? And then, how do you tie the printer
icon on the KDE desktop to that?
TIA
