I am trying to get Samba working on Ubuntu to share a Directory and a Printer over the network to a Windows PC, only... when I install it I can't get the link for the GUI, and I can get no where with it. Could someone help me on how to set this up? Thanks:)

The way I ended up doing this:

Don't use SAMBA. The CUPS already has a built in server (once enabled) @ http://hostname:631/printers/PRINTERNAME

For the directory, I forgot to install system-config-samba that serves as the GUI. And I edited the /etc/samba/smb.conf to get everything working.
