Hans, I know of one such a way and would be interested in finding out more. I use CUPS (cupsys). There are fairly straightforward instructions on using smbclient to set up a "smb" queue in cupsys in the SAM (Software Administrator's Manual) for CUPS. Just search for "Printing to Windows Servers" in SAM. However, I would prefer to find a more lightweight way to do such printing as keeping cups in the memory of my old laptop seems a bit too much price to pay.
