I've been trying to share my printer that is connected to my linux computer to my bf's windows xp machine. The two computers are connected (by wireless) to a linksys router so they're on the same subnet. There isn't a chance the router could be blocking the connection, is there? The wireless is running on eth1 and I can ping from one machine to the other.
I also have vmware running on my linux machine so I can do tests locally. When I run "net view \\gmc" on my vmware guest I get a list of shares and can connect to the printer and see the files in the "testshare" share. If I run the same comand on my bf's computer I get access denied. It's not firewall related because I'm testing it with no rules set.
I'm including my smb.conf below.

I had some problems with printers at one time. After some research I found a solution that worked. I hope this works for you. Below you will find my printers section of my smb.conf
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%jWayne Leutwyler, RHCT http://linux.is-a-geek.net Open Source + Open Minds = Open Solutions
