Hans,
I know of one such a way and would be interested in finding out more. I
use CUPS (cupsys). There are fairly straightforward instructions on
using smbclient to set up a "smb" queue in cupsys in the SAM (Software
Administrator's Manual) for CUPS. Just search for "Printing to Windows
Servers" in SAM.
However, I would prefer to find a more lightweight way to do such
printing as keeping cups in the memory of my old laptop seems a bit too
much price to pay.
Alex.
