Did you google "Samba for beginners"?
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/54415-fileserver-samba-printserver-cups-howto.html#post299791
That is the first result, doesn't look too bad.

You have setup your wins service with the line
wins support = yes
if you hav wins support on then disable
wins server = x.x.x.x

Are both of these networks on the same interface? If so then the
interfaces = eth1 should work.
apt-get install nmap
rin nmap against both of the interface ip's and see if you have a
service listening on it on port 139 like:
adrian@caprica:~$ nmap 192.168.0.1

workgroup is the first place your client computers look to find
resources. set all of your computers to the same workgroup. You'll
find workgroup = workgroup is a common default but cam be anything.

Right here, it's turned on. There used to be an os level config option
to make sure that samba would win the contest and be the wins sever
but its not in the new default file.
Here is what I used to have.
os level = 100

If you want your workgroup printers to be able to 'see' the printers
then make browsable = yes. With browsable = no things still work, you
just have to type in the name of the resource - you cant 'click and
'browse' to it. It remains hidden. Make browseable = yes until you get
things working.

This is where you put the printer drivers so your clients can
automatically load the drivers for each computer, don't worry about
this yet until you get the rest working as it's only a 'fuzzy extra' -
not required to get things moving.
Below the hashes is my existing smb.conf - although with no printers defined.

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.
