"The "smbspool" program is provided with SAMBA starting with SAMBA
2.0.6. Once you have made the link [1] and restarted CUPS you can
configure your printers with one of the following device URIs:

   smb://<workgroup>/<server>/<sharename>
   smb://<server>/<sharename>
   smb://<user>:<password>@<workgroup>/<server>/<sharename>
   smb://<user>:<password>@<server>/<sharename>"


[1] this is the link from /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to
/usr/bin/smbspool. you shouldn't need to worry about it, as the samba
ebuild makes it.
