[global]
--snip--
         printing = cups
         printcap name = /etc/printcap

[printers]
         path = /tmp
         guest ok = Yes
         printable = Yes
         browseable = no
         create mode = 0700

This is all that is printer-related in my smb.conf, though I believe the
printcap reference is superfluous w/ CUPS.

My cupsd.conf is near stock, as it should listen on localhost by default.

One thing that was faily maddening was that PCL Windows drivers for the
printers wouldn't work until the "application/octet-stream" lines were
uncommented in both /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types.
