Samba and printers.

Can someone point me to a good reference for setting up Windows printers
with
Samba so that they can be shared with a Linux box?
I have installed the samba server and client from RPM and I have no idea
how
to even launch the client (if it's a GUI client of any sort) and try to
browse the windows network.
I have the workgroup name setup the same on this Linux box as the Win2K box
and shared out a public area on the Linux machine for file sharing.
The smbd daemon is running and when I tried to do a smbmount command, it
couldn't connect.
I figured it was my lack of knowledge more than anything, so I thought
I'd ask
here to see if anyone had a quick answer.
This is on a Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 PPC install.
I also was trying to build a program from source called Sword and I
can't seem
to get it to build right.
At first I found that I hadn't installed gcc, so I installed it and all
it's
dependencies and then ran the suggested shell script and then make
(finished
successfully) and then tried to log in as superuser to do a make install
and
got greeted with:
make [1]: *** [swkey.lo] Error 1
make [1]: Leaving directory `/home/Chris/sword-1.5.5/lib'
make: *** [Install-recursive] Error 1
Any ideas on any of those errors? Do I need something else in the way of
compilers, etc installed before I run the make install?
Thanks!
Chris
