there may be a way for a windows driver to work in ubuntu it is done by either finding a ubuntu driver for the printer (which seems really hard to find) or mucking around using ndiswrapper utility to try and manipulate a driver to work in ubuntu.

You will need to visit your printer manufactures website and download and install the Ubuntu 10.10 drivers for your printer. Once these drivers are installed then your operating system will know how to use your printer, meaning that you will be able to print once the correct drivers are installed.

Take care!
