Specifically, you want the smbclient package, and the smbspool program. From there on, you need to configure some print spooler to work with Samba. Most LPR packages work, including CUPS; here is a document on using Samba with CUPS. I figure on most modern distros, you can just install Samba and CUPS together and set up the printer using CUPS' web interface. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke.
