The handbook, either on a local machine or at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing.html provides a fairly
comprehensive description for getting printers/filters/postscript
running under FreeBSD. 

I would expect that once you have your printers working under FreeBSD,
getting samba to share them would be a snip.
