You need samba, to share your printer on the network for Windows operating systems. If you have Windows NT, then you only have to install TCP/IP printing on the NT box as additional service. After that you can directly print to the FreeBSD machine via lpd protocol. You might be interested in installing apsfilter on the FreeBSD machine, if your printer is a PS printer or is supported by gs, which acts as a Postscript emulator. > I am not sure if this is the correct mail list.
