I do it using a script that i call i base.bat. Something like this:

todo.pl "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n \"\\sambaserver
\printer\" /q"
todo.pl "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \"\\sambaserver
\printer\""
todo.pl "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n \"\\sambaserver\printer
\""


In this case, the samba server acts as an smb print server. In case you
want to configure direct access to a printer printserver, you can use
the above example for smb access, or play a bit with cscript prnport.vbs
(see
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/prnport.mspx) to create ports and cscript prncnfg.vbs (see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/prncnfg.mspx) to configure the printers. This last part can also be done using rundll32 printui.dll. Just issue rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /? on the command line to see the options.
