Tony,
The windows workstations simply send a pre-formatted file to the samba
server, samba simply sends this "ready-and-formatted " file from the
windows boxes and sends them to the printer.
No matter what printer you connect to a linux box running a samba
server, all the windows workstations will print to the samba server as
far as the drivers on each windows WS are correctly installed and
configured. You may even make a copy of the newest driver to the samba
server and setup it to offer these drivers automatically to the clients.
Read the samba documentation, read the "Using Samba" and "The Samba
HOWTO Collection", they are all available freely from samba website
(www.samba.org) and have fun :)
Best regards,
Mauricio
