Byron -

I got my wife a Mac (she has only been asking for one for three years): iBook G4.  Well her printer is hooked up to a PC and she likes to roam around the house with the wireless connection.  Can your suggestion be implemented in this environment?

I am running Centos 4 and I am trying to use a printer on a

If I do
smbclient //ComputerName/PrinterName password -U UserName
and then
/> printmode text
/> print /tmp/test.txt
the printer works.
However, if I setup the printer and check the CUPS
printers.conf, it appears to be correct, but I get
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL when I print 
from OpenOffice or try to print from an Apple iBook.
Any suggestions on what I should check?
    

I'm not answering your question directly, because to do so,
I'd need to see your CUPS configuration.

That aside, have you considered setting up your Windows
Server with a LPD or an IPP queue for the printer?

If you can, avoid SMB printing -- for countless reasons.
God knows I do so even for Windows clients.
Microsoft's own NT reliability studies show the NT spooler is
the reason why NT crashes/hangs 8% of the time.
