+You will need to get the following files from an installation of Windows:
+
+ ps5ui.dll pscript.hlp pscript.ntf pscript5.dll
+
+They will be in all caps (uppercase) on the Windows machine, but make sure
+you have them in lowercase, and then place them in /usr/share/cups/drivers/
+
+
+Now you'll need to make sure /etc/samba/smb.conf is properly configured.
+Sample parameters for /etc/samba/smb.conf are as follows:
+
+ [global]
+ load printers = yes
+ printcap name = cups
+ printing = cups
+
+ [printers]
+ comment = All Printers
+ path = /var/spool/samba
+ browseable = yes
+ public = yes
+ guest ok = yes
+ writable = no
+ printable = yes
+
+ [print$]
+ comment = Printer Drivers
+ path = /usr/share/cups/drivers
+ browseable = yes
+ guest ok = yes
+ read only = yes
+ write list = root
+
+
+You might also want to create /etc/samba/users.map with e.g. this:
+
+ darkstar # cat /etc/samba/users.map
+ # This file maps Unix usernames to client usernames
+ # Format:
+ # Unix username = client username
+ root = Administrator
+ # add other mappings as needed
+
+
+Finally, export the printers with "cupsaddsamba -a" and restart cupsd.
