I've just set up an HP4000 on a Debian system. I used the latest
foomatic drivers from linuxprinting.org a recent CUPS system, samba
3.0.1-2, the cups-samba drivers for windows from http://www.cups.org/
(CUPS Driver for Windows 5.0rc30) and the samba-client tools which
include the cupsaddsmb utility. If you follow the documentation for
samba 3 from the samba web site, it should work for you.
Set-up the printer through cups use the APPsocket/HP JetDirect and enter
the printers IP connection(print test page from windows box to find it
if unkown) socket://192.168.0.39:9100/ and print a test page. If that
works then proceed to use the cupsaddsmb -A -v, as described in the
documentation.
Cheers,
