If you use a print server there's no need for Samba, you just need
the native printer drivers for each OS and then you tell it that it's
a LAN printer. The setup is a bit strange in Win2k/XP as you have to
say it's a 'local' printer for some odd reason, it's just the port that
it's connected to differs from one connected to USB or a parallel port.

If you do go down this route then E-Mail me or post again here and I
can give you more detail about set-up from home (I'm at work at
present). (my 'reply' E-Mail address here is valid and will get to
me)
