I'd stick to CUPS sharing - it works fine in all cases I've used it. I got unstuck once with a cups incompatibility when they changed to cups-browsed for discovery, and had to add a config file option, but if all your PCs are Cups-friendly there shouldn't be a problem. If sharing to Windows, there are a few gotchas, but the SAMBA docs help you out with this. Good luck!
