I don't believe you need samba in order to print to a Windows-served printer (IIRC, samba makes your *nix box look like an NT server). You might need smbfs if the Windows server is not running TCP/IP, but if it is running TCP/IP, you should just be able to just set up your /etc/printcap file for remote printing. I can't get to my printcap right now so I can't give you an example, but I'm sure you can find one maybe in the PrintingHOWTO or something similar.
