FWIW, if you want to share a printer connected to your Linux box, it  
is no longer necessary to use samba.  Apple has a neat free (as in  
speech as well as beer) application called Bonjour which will  
discover and communicate with a CUPS server, no configuration  
required.  It is built into OS X, but they also have a Windows  
version <http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/bonjour.html>.  I  
installed it on a Vista computer and was printing 30 seconds later.
