The latest apsfilter has the ability to use Windows printers (You should
have ghostscript installed if you don't already). It doesn't use smbprint
but smbclient, something I have gotten to work before.  I had originally
used the wrong driver for this printer so it doesn't currently work for me,
but I haven't had a chance to change the driver and see if it works.
