I do not think you need to install the printer on samba. If the clients are windows clients, they will likely have already filtered the job. I haven't ever used NT, only windows98.
So, all you might need is a bounce queue, which would be simple to set up. The command to print with is: cat FileFormattedForYourPrinter | smbclient //nt4ws/print -N -c "print -" smbclient -Z will show you the options. If you need a user/password thing, I THINK -Uuser%pass is how you do it. There should be a script called smbprint on your system which will help, too.
