I am NOT a 'guru" on this subject, but I do have it working here. In addition to what Antoine sent, I found that having a "generic" postscript printer driver on the Windows machine(s) made it work for me. I tried all sorts of config on the Windows side, and the Postscript driver was the key to get it going. I would verify the following steps:
1. Make sure CUPS is set up to work over the network, i.e. hook another Linux computer up and fiddle with the config until you can print from a remote CUPS client. The default CUPS install is not set up for network printing. Dunno if this is absolutely necessary, but it is one of the things I did & had working before I messed with Samba.
2. Make the smb.conf changes Antoine suggested above. This is essentially the same as mine, except I added a line "printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups".
3. I have the cupsys-bsd package installed here4. Install a postscript driver on the Windows machine. You can get a "generic" driver (what I used) from Adobe at: > http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html
under "Printer Drivers". You might be able to just install an existing Postscript Driver for your printer from the Windows disk.
