Thanks to everybody for the help. The samba server is running and I could
install the shared  printer on my window boxes.
One problem, when I want to print something from the windows pc nothing
happens.
Is it possible to view the print jobs on the linux pc and what can be wrong.
On the linux box the printer is setup as a local printer, maybe this is the
reason ?

Thanks

you sure can. Check your /var/log/syslog, /var/log/kernel/info, and /var/log/messages logs for anything having to do with smb (samba)

grep smb /var/log/syslog
"" "" /var/log/kernel/info
"" "" /var/log/messages

You can also check your samba logs to see if there any references there that would suggest a problem when a client is attempting to print.

To see the current print job crack open Webmin on the server, navigate to Hardware->Printer Administration.

https://localhost:10000

From there you can view current print jobs.
