On question that I have about Samba and printing: Do the printers need to have drivers for linux, if only the windows clients will print, or having windows drivers is enough?
You have two choices. The default CentOS config is to use Windows drivers only. The config described in "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide" (under "Advanced Intelligent Printing with PostScript Driver Download") has you use Linux drivers and only a generic PostScript driver for Windows (instead of per-printer drivers). In my experience, the former setup (Windows drivers only) is significantly simpler, and it gives Windows clients better access to printers' features.
