The Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide, available from Amazon.Com, gives a very comprehensive overview of both Classical (lpr) printing as well as CUPS.
CUPS can be configured to provide printing smarts (like MS Windows back
end printing does) or it can be configured to be as dumb as a mule. In the
later case, the CUPS server just becomes a vehicle for passing fully
preprocessed print jobs from Windows clients directly to the printer.
I have seen both ends of the complexity spectrum successfully deployed using Samba. The real question is: What is best for your situation?
