The network is a simple windows workgroup (no domain controller). Is there an easy way to setup my box to do this? Can it be done?

You need to setup a Samba client to have access to the printer. Check linuxdocs.org for a decent Samba HOWTO (or just google for it).

First, make sure you have Samba and Cups installed.
Then, make a link to smbspool:
ln -s /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backends/smb
Next, start the cups daemon:
/etc/init.d/cupsd start
Then, you can add the printer with the cups web interface (localhost:631)
Look under administration, add printer
My device URI looks like this:
smb://10.100.9.10/PShare
That's it - remember to make cups initialize at boot with rc-update

How can I specify the username/password to connect to the NT domain that my printer server is on? I saw some reference to specifying it on the URI, like this:

Code:
smb://domain/username:password@server/printer

or (without domain)
Code:
smb://username:password@server/printer


but neither worked for me. I can run
Code:
smbclient //server/printer -U username
.

Any thoughts?

Meh I found out that my network admin set it up so I can have CUPS use the HP JetDirect, so no samba needed for me.

Cheers.

As per CUPS help file, just use

Code:
smb://username:password@domanorworkgroup/computer/share


As your device. Of course you can omit parts.

Code:
smb://computer/share


And so on.
