I don't think that OS X can use a Windows or Samba shared printer
without an addon product such as 'Dave'. Your Mac already has a
version of Samba installed - installing a later version from samba.org
will not help with printing.
I suggest you instead investigate the use of CUPS for printing to
network printers on UNIX/Linux boxes. If your printer is on a Windows
2000/XP system, you can install the LPD print server from Microsoft,
and use CUPS to print to that as well. I do that all the time with my
iBook to print to Samba and Windows shared printers...
