Samba printing

It sure is (but may be dependent on your OS, etc).  Does your unix 
box have the smbclient stuff?  If so, it should work.  In my case, 
RedHat has a printer configuration tool that automatically sets up 
/etc/printcap, nenscript & ghostscript printfilters, etc.  All I 
had to do is specify a remote SMB printer and it works like a 
champ.  Samba even picks them up and shares them back out again 
(kind of voodoo, eh?).  YMMV.
