Sorry for the late reply.  I have cups with samba, and it works 
wonderfully, especially with cups' web admin interface.  Linux->Cups 
in Mandrake or Debian is no problem and is pretty much automatic on 
the client side as long as the cupsys daemon is running.  It picks up 
the printer and sets that as the default, then lpr etc. uses that for 
the printing.  As for Samba, I had to enter the below lines in the 
smb.conf and the windows clients could print fine.  My security level 
for samba was set to share level, which is fine for my home network.  
The print server is running Debian Woody.

printing = cups
printcap name = cups

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes 
   path = /tmp
   printable = yes
   public = yes 
   writable = yes 
   create mode = 0700
