    Why using for Samba for this?

    Win2K/XP can print over the ipp port, which is the native way of
    operation for CUPS.

    I have an HP LaserJet 4V attached to my FreeBSD 4-Stable PC.
    This printer is configured with the ipp protocol (I did
    configuration with the CUPS web interface; very easy to use!).

    The only file that I had to manually modify was

       /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

    There I have a section:

       <Location />
       Order Deny,Allow
       Deny From All
       Allow From 127.0.0.1
       Allow From a.b.c.d/n
       </Location>

    Where a.b.c.d/n is the usual ip/mask that allows people on that
    network to use the printer.

    Don't forget to open your firewall for the ipp print connection,
    something like

       ipfw add allow log tcp from a.b.c.d/n to me ipp via rl0

    Rob.
