There are several ways. One is to have Samba configured on the Unix system so that the Windows system has access to it.

Another way is to install the lpr service for windows (most Windows servers now have that service as an installable service). 'lpr' is the Unix printing spooler which would allow you to use the lpr command in windows to print to a Unix printer.

How can you prove a printer problem is not with the printer itself but lies with the network computer OS or application?

It depends on printer. For laser printers it's very easy to do, just print out test page using controls located on the printer itself. With other printer is harder because of absence of testing interface. The only choice you have is to connect the printer to computer try to get it printing. If does on one computer and does not do it somewhere else you point is proved.
