I can't help you with samba, but Windows 2000 and Windows XP users
are able to use the LaserJet attached to my FreeBSD machine, which runs
apsfilter. I've attached a copy of my /etc/printcap file at the end of
this message.  The Windows users do not log in to the FreeBSD machine
to use the printer.  I don't have samba installed at all.

The Windows hosts are listed in my FreeBSD /etc/hosts.lpd file; otherwise the
FreeBSD machine won't know who they are and won't permit them to
connect.

Follow the Windows instructions to install "print services for unix,"
then install a local, not network, printer using the LPR port on the
Windows machines.  Share the printer so all Windows users can use it.

Hope this helps.
Don Tyson
