I'm using samba in feisty, you will still need to run smbpasswd, but
that's a piece of cake. My one is sharing a printer also, under
[printers] I only had to change one thing; and it was to add this line:

use client driver = yes

So it pretty much works out of the box ;)

I would like to create a simple GTK+ interface that just ask for the users password to feed in smbpasswd to automate this task. Is it possible to manually add users and password for Samba? Because shares-admin doesn't have this feature, I want to make file and printer sharing easier without hassle.
