There is a program you can install as a print filter for the BSD
system.  It is part of the Samba package.

As long as the NT system serves printers via SMB (LAN Manager), not
just NetBEUI, then you will be able to install the print filter.

Samba is in the ports and can be installed vi the normal install
method for ported software.  It includes documentation on how to
set up the /etc/printcap file on FreeBSD.
