OK, I've installed Samba, and gotten printcap set such that I printed a straight text fire, but nothing else works now that I tried to print other formats through gv and open-office.

Perhaps Samba is not the way to go?  Printcap below.

For local printing, samba does nothing. Unless your printer supports postcsript natively (most cheap printers don't) you need some kind of converting filter. For my canon i550, i'm using apsfilter combined with ghostscript, both available as packages/ports.

Dont know if /usr/local/bin/smbprint in your printcap is some filter like that or where it comes from. Can't find it in any port.

It's not local printing.  It's an HP OfficeJet hung on a Windows XP machine.

You can install on Windows XP a LPR support

exactly, using *cups* as i write in my last post, you have a converting filter...
