I've tried many times to get FreeBSD machine to share it's printer though 
samba with little success.  The other day I was finally able to get the 
printer visible from my 2000 box and was able to use that Add Printer Wizard 
to upload the drivers.   The files copied just fine, but then my FreeBSD box 
just went crazy, lots of harddisk activity and then my /usr partition filled 
up (1.2 GB free).

-----info----
Printer: HP Deskjet 920C on the FreeBSD machine
Samba is compiled with cups support.
----smb.conf--
 [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = MYCOMP
encrypt passwords = Yes
;socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY
; print config
printer admin = @ntadmin,root
add printer command = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[my_music]
path = /usr/home/amistry/windows-share/jail/ftp/pub/my-music
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
; print config
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = @ntadmin,root
[print$]
path = /usr/local/samba/printer
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @ntadmin,root
