I have a network with an NT as PDC. There are ...5-6 printers on my network shared by the network users. How can I use them? What do I have to put in my configuration file? I read Samba's doc, but I couldn't find anything. -- Stefan, a simple Debian user. Linux registered user: #272012 [Linux is Friendly. It's just selective about who his friends are.]

[Samba] newbie: instaling samba to use network printers

It seems to be 3.0 only but it works for 2.2.x also. As a bird's eye view you have three steps: 1. Install printer drivers on samba so samba can "serve" those drivers to clients 2. Define shares and like. 3. Configure CUPS (most likely with raw spools). This can be easyer than you think, on a CUPS enabled system you can connect via web interface just http://cupsmachine:631
