I print from OSX through Samba all the time. Given a unix/linux-based
server I _prefer_ working directly with cups/ipp, but printing to Samba
print shares from Mac OSX work perfectly fine.
I would suggest you point the technicians working with Samba in the
direction of this email bounce, and your technicians working with OSX in the
direction of Apple's email bounces listed at
http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo
In general, here is how to add a Samba-shared printer to a user's profile on
an OSX client:
1. System Preferences -> Print&Fax
2. Press '+' to add a printer
3. Hold down the Alt key while clicking "More Printers"
4. Choose "Advanced"
5. From the drop-down menu, choose "Windows Printer via Samba"
6. Set a name for the queue
7. Device URI should read smb://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/server/queuename
8. Set the printer model.
Hope this helps,
Bjørn
