Windows network

Hi.

I have a home network. Every computer on it is running Windows (apart from mine, obviously). I want to be able to use the printer on my PC but I've no idea where to start. Is there some sort of Printer Management program which I can use that will be able to connect to a Windows computer and allow me to print?

Also, I know this is off-topic but I want to ask this question aswell despite the irrelelvancy of it: Is constantly formatting and installing a new operating system bad for my computer? I've formatted my hard drive atleast 5 times this week.

Cheers!

Re: Windows network

If you have cups running and samba installed, go to localhost:631, add printer, and select Windows Printer via SAMBA.
