You certainly don't need Samba to connect to a jet-direct printer.

I'm not much of a network quru, but I've found that "netcat" is very 
helpful when setting up this kind of stuff. It's the swiss-army-knife 
of network tools. Very easy way to test network connectivity.

I use it all the time to send formatted postscript to a jet-direct HP 
printer, since I'm too lazy to configure a print spooler <grin>.

Google for "netcat" or check freshmeat.
