Hi,
I don`t think samba is the right thing for that. If I understand
it correct: There is a printer connected to a windows-machine.
And you want to print from Linux to this printer. Then, samba
will not work, because samba would be the same as the windows-machine
with its printer.
What you have to do is: Find a lpd-Daemon for windows. I know
there is one. I think it is free. Then you have to modify your
/etc/printcap file on linux to point to the lpd-daemon of windows.
Then, printing should work
