Printing to a Samsung SCX-4300 printer shared on Windows XP from Debian Lenny

I got a Samsung SCX-4300 multi-function printer at my office. Currently, it is connected to a windows machine through a USB cable. I wanted to be able to use it as a network printer for my Debian laptop. After a bit of search on google, I could find a solution that worked for me. I must thank Anupam for helping me out during this process. I derived my understanding from this page and this article summarizes the steps that I followed.

1. Install  "smbclient (including Samba)" and "cups" related packages using APT.
   
2. I share the printer on windows machine as "EE-Print". I connect to it through samba client using following command:
   
   $ smbclient -L EE-Print
   Enter swg's password:
   Domain=[EE-PRINT] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

3. Now we open the browser and open the CUPS web-interface by typing in the following URL:
   http://localhost:631/
   
   
4. Now add a new printer, give a name to it and Set the device type to "Windows Printer via SAMBA".
   
   
5. Set the URI which includes the name that was listed earlier by smbclient, for example something like "smb://EE-Print/Samsung". If the printer is passworded, you would use something like "smb://username:password@EE-Print/Samsung".
   
   
6. You need to install linux driver for the printer "Samsung SCX-4300". The linux driver can be downloaded from the Samsung's official site. Untar the pack and run the "autorun" script file as a root. It has a gui interface which guides through various installation process. Currently install it as a local usb based printer.
   
   
7. Once you have installed the driver, restart the CUPS server and click on "modify properties" option for the printer. When it asks for a driver, then select "Samsung scx-4300 series" from the drop down menu. It will now ask for the root username and password. Remember to enter "root" in the username field and give root password in the password field.
   
   
8. Now you should be able to print your test page.
