No problem, thats the kind of setup I have here two printers both on a Linux
sever. Firstly install the printer under linux using linuxconf. (If linux
doesn't have the correct driver just pick any one - it won't matter as long
as you are printing from Windows.) Then install samba (included in most
distros) and configure it (by editing /etc/smb.conf) for your workgroup. You
may already have this done. (Re)start samba and verify that you can 'see'
the linux server in network neighbourhood. Next add these lines or something
similar to the /etc/smb.conf:

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        print ok = Yes
        browseable = No


NB: The defatult printer settings in the global section should be ok, so all
you need is whats above.

Restart samba. On your Win95 machine, naviagate network neighbourhood and
find your printer. Right click on the printer and select install. Insert the
necessary drivers etc, and try a test page.

If you have any problems configuring samba, try
