Same as setting up samba for anything.  The "mail pdf printer" is just
a
printer as far as Samba is concerned,  queing the job just happens to 
invoke a script that does the ->pdf->mail thing rather than submitting it 
to an actual print queue.

[Mitch says:] Sorry for butting in - and sorry if this is a dumb question -
but are you guys saying there is an existing PDF printer / spooler combo
that provides a PDF output option under Samba? Is this a 3rd party app or
where do I get started looking at this?

Thanks!

Yes, it is included with just about every Linux distribution: Ghostscript.

We just install an HP 2000C (thats color) Postscript driver and aim it to a
script that writes the postscript to a file, runs ps2pdf14 on it, and sends the
output back to the user as an e-mail attachment.
