Yup, that is a good book!

The nutshell Samba book is also wonderful, and it is on-line for your easy
perusal.  Check out that book for all your Samba computing needs.  I don't
know if Red Hat defaults to installing "cups", but you should be able to
find an RPM for it fairly easily.  Try using cups to set up your printer.
