i didn't mess with any smb.conf file while setting up my shared samsung
ml-1610, but on the windows machines i use an executable called
winsteg.exe downloaded from adobe's website, it set up postscript
printers, and i find it easy to use.

i got these info from a website, i'll see if i can find it and post a
link later on, but most of the settings to be configured are cups
settings as far as i remember.
