Yep. Basically you need to:
1) Make sure that printing works on the Linux side.
2) set up a [printers] section in /etc/samba/smb.conf, so the printers
can be shared. Samba will read /etc/printcap to find out which
printers are available, so a simple entry like
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /tmp
printable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
create mode = 0700
should do the trick. Depending on your requirements you may (or may
not) want to make it public or browseable. man 5 smb.conf is your
friend.
