In KDE (Lenny) I have "system-config-printer" installed. It may be in your Menu under system or settings listed as "Printing" as the application. You enter your root password and an easy to use GUI guides you. You just select New Printer. Then Windows Printer via SAMBA. Then Browse for the printer, and select the CUPS driver needed.

Open the CUPS web interface at https://localhost:631 and click on "Add Printer" (don't be scared if it takes a while, it's scanning the network for network printers). If it does not automatically list your printer you can choose "Windows Printer via SAMBA". As URL enter: smb:// [workgroup/]server [:port]/printer (workgroup and port are optional).

This HOWTO will demonstrate how to use command-line tools to configure your Debian system for printing. It will explain how to send documents from Linux to Windows printers and how to share Linux printers with Windows PCs. Some troubleshooting examples are also given.

CUPS as Print Server for Windows Machines You can setup CUPS to allow Windows machines to print to a CUPS server using an http address. First, install the samba package. When you are asked to use WINS, say yes. $ aptitude install samba Next setup your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.
