You could also look at installing swat (the Samba Web Administration Tool) 
which is a sort-of standalone set of web-based tools just for Samba.

And as for your Ubuntu machines -- are you sure you've got ssh installed 
on them?  I seem to remember having to install it on each machine of a 
classroom network running Ubuntu once before folks could ssh into each 
other's machines.
Under sarge of course, it's just there from the start.

Can't help you with sane; but installing and using CUPS hasn't usually 
been a problem for me (but then I hardly ever use network printing -- 
usually from single machines), so I won't comment.

Cheers,
