I don't seem to have a problem at all with Samba - I use Webmin to add my printers to the "box" - and usually each client machine has the drivers loaded locally; as well, with this site, they're using jetdirect cards for the printers...that's always quite easy to get flying. For what it's worth, I've had my problems installing printers locally on RH and MDK boxes...and out of frustration ended up using Webmin - and being that it worked well, at least for me, I've stuck to using it as my starting tool.
