Samba question

Samba question
I'm about to be leaving when my current contract is, though I would like to be able to do one last thing though.
Ok here's the deal. Everything here is Windows
apart from a huge Xerox printer they have which running of Unix 
The other IT blokes here (Windows people) have told the blokes in the print room that they can't connect the Xerox printer to the Windows servers.
I just found this out. I said it was not the case.
What they would like the printer to do is be setup so they can scan documents from the printer to a e-mail address (in PDF).
I said Samba could do the job they want. I've never really installed Samba or played to much with it (It's always already been done when I get there ). But would I be correct in saying that if we setup Samba on the print server (Windows) then the printer would be able to connect and scan documents etc?
I'm not sure if I would need to do anything on the printer. though I think if I setup Samba on Windows then I should have to do and confiure setups on the printer. Only configure it so it can do the job.
So anything with what I said correct? Don't ask what model Xerox printer it is all I know is it's like 12feet long and cost a hell of alot of $$$ Oh yeah and even Xerox people who have come out sofar can't help them. I'm the first person who told them it can be done. I'm just wondering if what I think is the right way of going about doing it
thanks in advance for your help.

regdiff
REGDIFF(1) [FIXME: manual] REGDIFF(1) NAME
regdiff - Diff program for Windows registry files SYNOPSIS
regdiff [--help] [--backend=BACKEND] [--backend=BACKEND] [--credentials=CREDENTIALS] [--credentials=CREDENTIALS] [location] [location] DESCRIPTION
regdiff compares two Windows registry files key by key and value by value and generates a text file that contains the differences between the two files. A file generated by regdiff can later be applied to a registry file by the regpatch utility. regdiff and regpatch use the same file format as the regedit32.exe utility from Windows. OPTIONS
--help Show list of available options. --backend BACKEND Name of backend to load. Possible values are: creg, regf, dir and rpc. The default is dir. This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second. --credentials=CREDENTIALS Credentials to use, if any. Password should be separated from user name by a percent sign. This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite. SEE ALSO
gregedit, regshell, regpatch, regtree, samba, patch, diff AUTHOR
This utility is part of the Samba[1] suite, which is developed by the global Samba Team[2]. This manpage and regdiff were written by Jelmer Vernooij. NOTES
