On my Ubuntu system (either Breezy or Dapper), I have _yet_ been able to print to an SMB printer. And (at work), since all queues are hosted on W2K servers, and no one has local printers, it means I print from my XP system.

Do none of these printers have network ports? Generally speaking, all you need is an IP address and you're set (insofar as most work printers have PostScript engines in them and speak "lpd"). That W2K server is just a nicety for the Windows folks.
