Alan,

A few simple steps will get you the results you are after:

1. Install a recent version of CUPS (1.1.18 or later)
2. Make sure that you install the cups-devel package
3. Obtain the Samba-Team samba source RPM
4. Rebuild Samba:

	Red Hat:   rpmbuild --rebuild samba-3.0.0-xxxx.src.rpm
	SuSE:	   rpm --rebuild samba-3.0.0-xxxx.src.rpm

The binary RPMs will find their way to:

	Red Hat: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
	SuSE:    /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386

I hope this helps.
