Have a look at Samba !
You don't even need to install Samba, it will be enough to get one of
the small utilites Samba includes - smbclient. With this program you can
print to shared Windows printers. This is the best solution, if you
don't want to change anything on your Windows machines.
If you want to go the other way - install nothing on Unix, but on
Windows - you should install the simple TCP/IP printing services on NT.
This way you can print to NT as an lpd emulating system.
