Depends on how the printer is connected.
In general you would be better off with the printer connected to
a LAN-printbox, some printers already have this builtin.
Using a LAN-printbox usually mens that several protocols are available,
lpd is one of the common unix-printing metods ( and built-in in yoir
FreeBSD sysstem). Windows native printing uses netbios, and here comes samba
into action ( at least part of samba)
