Unfortunately this will only work if CUPS is already installed when
you install Samba. So if the order of installation changes (Samba
before CUPS), you would need to reconfigure Samba after installing
CUPS.
Of course, you could have both CUPS and Samba mutually checking for
each others' existence and installing the requisite drivers, but that
would be even more overkill!
