More than probably, as nowhere in the following problem description do
you mention Evolution, groupware, calendaring, or even email.

Pardon my strenuous objection to this approach, but you've struck a pet
peeve: it's the "I can't get answers from anyone else so I'll bring it
somewhere wholly inappropriate" syndrome. Proponents of this approach
are sometimes people who've tried every imaginable resource to no avail,
but more often turn out to be folks who are too lazy to even try a
search engine and/or read some documentation.

I don't mind helping the former; I have great disdain for the latter.

I typed "Share Linux Printer with Windows" into Google and came up with
many links that look promising. I'd recommend the same to you.
