Hello Schorsch,
Yes, this is possible. You should not have to activate the Administrator account
for this, nor use it. Windows UAC (User Account Control) is there for a good
reason.
Most modern desktop oriented Linux distributions, such as OpenSuSE or Ubuntu,
have GUI's for configuring network printers, they differ between
distributions. In Ubuntu is a printer configuration tool that should auto-detect
your printer if I'm correct, if not, maybe installing Bonjour on the Windows
PC will be handy ( http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999?viewlocale=en_EN ). In
OpenSuSE there are 2 printer tools. The one from Yast works better, but
you'll have to open ports for Samba in the firewall first.
You should not have to mess with Samba or Cups configuration manually, assumed
you're on a regular desktop distro.
Best regards,
Gerben

Subject: [Samba] Question about printing
Hello all,
is it possible to print from a linux box to a printer, shared on a
windows 7 box?
In Windows 7 the Administrator account is deactivated without a password
in default.
Have i to enable the account?
Have i to set a password?
Thanks
