[ale] Windows drivers for my printer so I can use my linux samba server?

Problem:  I have an HP PSC 1610 that works GREAT with linux and cups.
Linux boxes all print to it without blinking.  I tried to set it up for
my wife's windows laptop (required for school, don't bother) but the
laptop can't find the drivers.  I went to hp.com and found drivers that
don't support the network and when I told the laptop to use those
drivers it just gave me a blank stare...  I installed the printer
localling and it worked, then tried going back to the network/samba
setup and it couldn't find the drivers again.

Anyone have any ideas?  I'm currently stuck booting my desktop into
windows whenever she wants to print...
