How to connect from Linux to a Windows printer?

My home network has a Windows computer with a shared printer. I've just installed Linux on my own machine. How can I connect to the shared Windows printer from my Linux installation?

"The solution was to go through the control panel, there's an ""automatic"" option that worked.

PCLinux Control Center:
-> Hardware
-> Set up printers
-> Add printer
-> Auto-detect printers connected to machines running Windows"
