The reason I use samba printer shares for Windows boxes is that with samba it's possible (though not easy!) to install the required Windows printer drivers on the samba server so that a Windows user can just "connect to printer" and the driver downloads and installs automatically, rather than the user having to select and install the right one manually, i.e. just like as if they were connecting to a Windows print server.
