I will second that as a recent CUPS convert. Heck, it took me all of 5 minutes to configure two shared HP LaserJet printers that were attached to two Windows 2000 machines. This was on a Windows network and I had Samba pre-configured. For the sake of completeness I should state that I used the kdeprint interface to CUPS, though I don't think that makes a lot of difference as far as user-friendliness of CUPS is concerned.
