Windows printer server
 
In my office i have a windows nt server and a HP psc 1310 printer.My goal is to print from any linux client to the windows print server.Googling around i only found linux printer server and windows clients. I run a debian etch stable and samba.
Thanks!

you might like to actually ask a question next time... :)

I assume you have problems or no knowledge on how to print to a windows shared printer? just run cups on the client machine and configure the cups server to relay to the smb share on the windows box, e.g. smb://server/printer there are plenty of cups wrappers for gnome, kde etc... or just connect to http://localhost:631 for the direct cups web interface.
