I used deselect and loaded stuff related to cups (search on "cup" like you would in vi "/cup<CR>"; other have given methods using apt-cache
Then I used KDE-Control Center-System-Printing Manager; don't remember all the steps but it involved using the wizard; I kept playing with cups until the SMB option showed up (I loaded the cups client but not the server :-) at first).
I am setting up an old sparc to run Samba. Then I'll move the printer from the W98 machine to the sparc. Then we'll see if I can figure out how to print from both Debian and W98. No KDE wizards on the sparc :-). I hoping that Mr. O'Reilly will be helpful then.
Don't know if you have KDE control center available. If you do, maybe it will help you limp through the process like it helped me.
There were several print drivers available for my printer (Epson Color 850). I found that a little confusing. I tried each of them and found the one I liked the best.
HTH a little,
Thank you everyone for your help in this matter. The above solution worked once I figured out how to access the wizard (which, oddly enough, I didn't have access to until I upgraded to KDE3.1)
