samba printing

[Darin Perusich]

this depends on the print system that you are using, if you're running 
cups it's pretty easy to setup.

if cups is running, 'ps wax |grep cupsd' then point your browser are 
http://localhost:631 and login as root.

click "add printer",
give it a name (continue),
Device "windows printer via samba"  (continue)
Device URI: smb://hostname/printer_name (continue)
Make: printer manufacture (if not listed choose postscript)  (continue)
Model: printer model (continue)

print a test page and you should be done. if you use kde you can always 
use the kde print manager to set it up.
