I guess you want is a standalone printer which serves everyone on
your local network. I use cups and this simple smb.conf

	--------------------------------------------
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/12/29 08:09:35

# Global parameters
[global]
	netbios name = SMALL
	security = SHARE
	passdb backend = guest
	ldap ssl = no
	hosts allow = 192.168.10.

[hpdj]
	path = /var/spool/samba
	guest ok = Yes
	printable = Yes
	use client driver = Yes

	--------------------------------------------
My /var/spool/samba is set to drwxrwxrwt .

For the details - of course - you have to google around, since I
don't know your OS and your printer.

Hope that helps a bit.

Uli.
