Been a while now but I've done it. I'd installed a bunch on network printers in a Mandrake 9.1 box and then had all the windows pcs on the lan print using the linux box. Setting up each printer in linux wasn't too hard, but I found I needed the client-side driver option in Samba where I defined each of the printers. (I know CUPS is suppsed to do this collectively but I never got that to work). In each of the windows pcs, I installed the driver for the printers I wanted to use with that pc.
The whole thing worked much more stable then just using windows printer sharing which often "lost" documents to be printed.
