I googled "debian windows print samba" and got those, and many other great hits, on the first page. You would be well served to learn to google-fu to help you with this stuff. There are *vast* quantities of really good linux info on the web, its just a matter of learning the right search terminology. Also, www.debian-administration.org is a great site and has a local search function as well. I use it often. 2. Many debian oriented guides are geared towards "sarge". With "etch" out, we should see those starting to update, but it will be a while. you'll have to make various translations as you go along. A
