A while ago I looked into this and was told not to bother as it was a hack at best. Anyone shed any reliable info on creating a print server for windows nt -> vista clients both x86 and x46 for a few Canon and HP IP Printers.

Would this be reliable, are there any caveats or issues to be aware of?

Samba print sharing is more dependable then Samba file sharing in my opinion.

The windows driver directory PRINT$ can take a little work to get setup properly, but after it's setup right you install drivers there from a Windows client as if it were any other print server.
