[CLUE-Tech] Help with Debian printing to a windows print share

[Angelo Bertolli]

I got Debian working rather nicely.  For what it's worth, the trick for 
me was to do the install online (install the first CD and just use an 
online apt repository) which produced a good result.

However, I'm having a hard time accessing a windows printer share on the 
network.  I don't know enough about /etc/printcap or cups to figure out 
how to configure them by hand, and how samba gets tied in.  I'm not sure 
that cups and samba are communicating properly, but I did follow some 
online guidelines about what should be in smb.conf.  I did try using the 
Gnome tool for configuring a printer, but it doesn't seem to do 
anything.  I go through the steps of the printer details and choose a 
printer driver (should be easy--I just used the generic PostScript 
printer on Fedora), but after I click "apply" nothing happens.  No new 
printer, nothing.

Can anyone give me some advice?  I have cups and samba installed.
