Samba print setup novice question



I am seting up samba on a home LAN on which there are no Windows
PCs. Why?  I have several Debian Etch boxes and several Mac OS X
boxes, For many years I have used netatalk to share files and
printing, but my daughter has a new Mac laptop that came loaded with
Leopard. Leopard won't talk nicely to netatalk. At least I can't make
it work. Reports on the internet claim that Macs will connect to a
Windows networks via NetBIOS. So, I want to use Samba, and fake out a
recalcitrant Leopard. But for printer sharing, samba seems to need a
print driver that is copied from one of the client Windows PCs. But as
I said, above, I don't have any Windows PCs. It there a legal
work-around for this situation?

Other suggestions?
