Neither of these methods require you to install anything; just to enable printer sharing on the Windows side.

To allow Windows machines to print to Apple hosted Bonjour capable printers: The Bonjour Printer Wizard is also included and allows Windows computers to print to Bonjour networked printers, including USB shared printers connected to the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Stations. Since Apple first launched Bonjour in 2002, every major maker of network printers has adopted Bonjour. With the Bonjour Printer Wizard, computers using Windows can also experience the benefits of effortlessly discovering and printing to these Bonjour printers.

Good write up. Have you tried Bonjour for Windows though? I haven't got a windoze box to try it but I think it should work. You should also be able to just add Windows printers from the Add Printer dialog (selecting Windows Networks or something like that) Hey. Good write up.
