Hello,

Have you read the printer-specific Samba HOWTO parts, such as
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html
?

Assuming you have enabled CUPS printing in your smb.conf, there are
several ways to upload the printer drivers to the print server (under
the 'Installing Drivers into [print$]' section).

Cheers,
