Hello,

Can you please clarify you intentions a little bit more in detail?
'the setup windows printer on SL 6' can mean lots of things like e.g.:

- i have SL6 server and i want to share networked printer to windows (or 
any) client by creating print queue on my SL6 server
- i want my SL6 laptop to connect to printer that is shared and has 
printer queue setup on the windows 2008 server
- i want my SL6 laptop connect to other SL6 server that share its CUPs 
printer queue via Samba
...
..
which is it :]?

for your other questions:

the nmbd is just a binary, one of multiple in the Samba packages (even 
though one of most important).

if i may suggest, try:

service smb status
service nmb status

you should get something like:

[root@srv-022 ~]# service nmb status
nmbd (pid  7069) is running...
[root@srv-022 ~]# service smb status
smbd (pid  7080) is running...
