Samba's smbclient can send print jobs to Windows print servers.  You may 
have to set up a plain text "printer" on the Windows system to keep it 
from reinterpreting the data.

If the Windows print server (three words that *really* don't go 
together) supports lpd, just use lpr.  A quick search found this, which 
might be helpful to you:
