What do you mean that you wish to use samba as a print server ?
How the printers are connected to the "print server" and what is the need ?

1) if each client need to be a single admin for a signle printer this is one
thing  -
2) if each client need to be able to add /remove a printing job to some
queue (on one or more printers)
3) some policy enabled printing (billing, max amount of pages / size / print
jobs / account etc ...)

Perhaps you need to take a look on CUPS setting and sharing a CUPS printer
using SAMBA (is it the real request ?)
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html

Who are the clients ? Windows /  Gnu machines ?

P.s
The authers of the cups hebrew translation and Lexmark hebrew modification
should be on this list.
