14.7.  Samba with CUPS Printing Support

Samba allows client machines to share printers connected to the Samba server, as well as send Linux documents to Windows printer shares. Although there are other printing systems that function with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CUPS (Common UNIX Print System) is the recommended printing system due to its close integration with Samba.
