printing to Windows XP through samba

Hi,

I have a Windows XP box hosting an HP deskjet 720C printer, and am
having some trouble printing to it with samba. I can actually print to
it using "Print Services for Unix" on the Windows box and changing
"smb:" to "lpd:" in my lpadmin command, so I know I'm close to getting
it to work through Samba.

Here's my samba configuration:
$ lpadmin -p inky -E -v smb://queeg500/Inky -P HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd

When I try using smb, /var/log/cups/error_log I get:
SMB tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I can connect to the windows share using smbclient (and pressing enter
at the password prompt), but I don't know what to try at that point.

$ smbclient //queeg500/Inky
added interface ip=192.168.1.100 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.101 ( 192.168.1.101 )
Password:
Domain=[HOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>

Commands like put and dir don't do anything since it's a printer not a
filesystem. Do I need to explicitly supply a (null) password or
username? If so, how?

Am I missing something else?

The easy way is to install CUPS,it also have a web based gui to log in to
and set up the printer.
