[Samba] Question about printer sharing

[Michael Heydon]

I don't see any particular reason why it wouldn't work, it should be as 
simple as sharing the printer on the workstation, setting it up through 
cups and telling samba to share the cups printers (and adding drivers if 
required).

But wouldn't it be simpler to just let the other machines talk to it via 
the machine it is directly connected to?
Alternatively, parallel print servers are fairly cheap, you could put 
the printer directly on the network.
