Printer config - KDE Control Module

[Justin Denick]

You must use samba to "broadcast" the printer. That way, windows can see it.
The entry will look like

[samsung_printer]
        comment = On the Linux box
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        printer name = samsung_printer
