This might be worth a try:
HOWTO:
1. make sure your samba client setup is
working. test with
smbclient //your_server/your_printer -c "print -" </etc/motd
(see below for what software to install to get
this far)
2. Stick the attached interface in /etc/pdq/interfaces
(if you're not root, I suppose there's someplace
else you can put it... I dunno.)
3. Fire up xpdq and choose Printer/add printer.
When you get to the choice of interfaces, choose samba,
then supply //your_server/your_printer

copy the part under the dotted line into a text editor and save it in /etc/pdq/interfaces/ as samba.
