I think I've lost the big picture...time to step back and look at what you're trying (and unable) to do.
1. Is \\server\Printer being added to the clients as a Network or Local Printer? 2. If Network, are you trying to install the printer drivers from the server? 3. Are you a member of the Linux admins group? 4. Did you delete the default printer apps on the Linux box, and create symlinks to the cups equivalents? (e.g. lpr, lprm, lpd, lpq) (This has bitten me on OpenBSD upgrades; the upgrade overwrites the symlinks with executables, and I have to go back and redo the LPRng symlinks) 5. Re-read the doc's and HOW-TOs for printing setup-a lot has changed in 2.2.x...maybe something will pop up that you missed. 6. If you're not interested in the spoolss support, or it gives you more pain than pleasure (my case!!!) use "disable spoolss=yes" and "use printer driver=no" in smb.conf's [Global], remove all connections to \\server\Printer in your workstations' Printers and the Registry. Then re-install \\server\Printer as a Network Printer, and the Port it attaches to should show up listed in the Properties as a LAN Manager Printer Port. This is the pre-spoolss type of printer connection, and I think the easier to set up/manage. 7. Linux prints via cups, and you can see the share- you're almost there... Good luck!
