I didn't know how to do this, so I asked Dr. Google and this is what he said (total research time: 6 seconds): http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=mac+windows+printer+share&btnG=Google+Search
Seems like the first result is the one you want: http://iharder.sourceforge.net/macosx/winmacprinter/
Dr. Google saves the day yet again. Maybe one day everyone will learn how to take advantage of this wonderful resource.

alright... so i bought the D-link wireless router and set it up last night at home. very nice... it had a nice, simple, web-based interface. it was very easy to configure.
anyway. so i have a printer hooked up to one of the computer (this one is running Microsoft Windows) that is connected to my network. i shared this printer.
now, i want to be able to send print job to this printer from across the wireless network (from my PowerBook). i am connected to the network and able to see both computers, both ways, but... the printer isn't showing up when i look for it to install it (it is an HP DeskJet).
i was thinking that one of the easy ways to route to it would be to assign an IP to the printer. in the "Print Center" in OS X, you can route to a printer via several ways... AppleTalk, Rendezvous, USB, IP, Directory Services, etc". i know that the printers on the network at the office where i work have their own IPs.
what's the best way to find this printer? should i assign it in IP? how do you assign a printer an IP?
