You actually don't want samba, that would help you serve printers.  You want CUPS.  Cups helpsyou serve and use printers.  Rememberthe URL I sent you that started with archive? Have you tried that as a repo? Something like:
baseurl=http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
or
baseurl=http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/

Also, give some better background with questions you ask, it will help people help you.
