Just to follow up on my original message, here is a quick example of
sharing CUPS printers via Samba:

---- smb.conf:
[global]
	...
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups

...

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No
        printer admin = root
----

That's all you need to share all your CUPS printers.  This setup, with
"guest ok = Yes", allows anyone to print to your printer, which is fine
for my setup.
