[ale] printing to a cups printer?

Your samba print spool needs to be writeable by the user she attaches
as. Under Samba separate from CUPs you need to make her a user with
valid Samba password. She needs to be able to attach to the Samba
share, see the printer, and have the printer configured under Windows
with a Windows driver. The Samba exported printer needs to have a raw
queue on your box and not be processed by a driver. Hope this helps,
