In a networked environment setting it up with cups/samba is quite easy and straight forward. Make sure the usb printer is connected and turned on first before adding the printer via the cups web interface. Otherwise the usb option will not be available. This is a common setup, so a quick google, will probably get you a lot of answers in case you encounter any problems.
