You'll need the current CUPS 1.3.6 to handle the large Kerberos
credentials provided by the Windows KDC, and you might need a newer
version of Samba (I don't remember which release actually includes
the Kerberos changes to smbspool...)

Finally, after setting up the queue, run:

     lpadmin -p printer -o auth-info-required=negotiate

to tell CUPS that the queue requires Kerberos authentication.
