First you need to make sure that Printer sharing is turned on with the windows machine. Next, go to your sharing preferences on your mac, and make sure that you have turned on both printer sharing and windows sharing. After that, just go to the Printers preference pane in system preferences, and see if your windows printer is listed in that box. If it's not, click the top where it says IP Printer, then click the button at the bottom that says "More Printers", then choose the correct windows workgroup for your network and browse for the printer there.
