How to print to an active directory printer

I don't really know how to get this to work exactly, but what I do know is that after an ungodly amount of screwing around with cups, samba and kerberos to no avail, I finally deleted the printer and re-added it and VOILA!
Before I would not get prompted for authentication (in most programs, but some WOULD), and when re-adding the printer I was allowed to enter the auth information.

Outlook 2010 in Wine on Arch Linux

I have been trying for WAY too long to get Outlook to connect to my exchange account under wine. This is mostly because I just can't seem to find anything else that works, I've been using Thunderbird but Meeting invitations don't appear in my Inbox. My "new message count" shows I have new messages, but there is nothing in my Inbox and there seem to be no plugins that can get it to work properly, plus I don't seem to be be able to get the exchange calendar to work.

Anyway, I finally figured out why Outlook running on Wine would not connect... My smb.conf file was missing. So the solution was....

# cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf

And everything worked perfectly. I figured this out by the way by starting Outlook from command line with a bunch of overly complex options and seeing an error message saying that /etc/samba/smb.conf was missing.
