Hi Adrian,

at first the cups-samba package rely on samba.
Please be familiar with samba.

Read the Samba howto
 http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html#id2585345

configure a samba like this:

--smb.conf---8<-----
[global]
        unix charset = LOCALE
        workgroup = COMPANY
        realm = COMPANY.COM
        server string = Samba %v
        interfaces = 127.0.0.1, eth0
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        security = ADS
        password server = dc.company.com
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        log level = 2
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        hostname lookups = Yes
        printcap cache time = 30
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        wins server = 192.168.157.210
        ldap ssl = no
        idmap uid = 10000-90000
        idmap gid = 10000-90000
        winbind separator = +
        winbind enum users = yes
        winbind enum groups = yes
        printer admin = printer, @COMPANY+CUPS_Printer_Admin

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/tmp
        create mask = 0600
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
        write list = root, printer,  @COMPANY+CUPS_Printer_Admin
        force group = sys
        read only = No
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
        guest ok = Yes
--smb.conf---8<-----

This is a configuration of a samba-printserver inside of a Win 2k3 ADS
environment.

This machine is only a printserver.

After this steps, have fun!
