I'm sure there is a general HowTo on this but I use a similar configuration
both at work and at home.
First make sure that the Windows Networking is working correctly.
>From the command line, run "smbclient //host/printer_share -P" - this
should give a ftp like connection where you can give a command to print a
local UNIX file.
E.g.
smbclient //ela/HP693C -P
Password: xxxxxx
smb: > print /etc/hosts
smb: > quit
This will halve the problem - whether it is on the UNIX or Windows side.
