Problems sharing a printer with Windows

Hi,

I recently installed Samba 3.0.8 on Fedora Core 3. It seems to be
working fine, and my Windows machine sees my Linux machine when I
click on "My Network Places". However, it is not recognizing the
printer. I can print from my Linux machine just fine, so that is not
the problem.

When I type smbclient --list localhost, I get the following output:

Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.8]

(Anonymous login is enabled, BTW).

So the printer (usblp0) is on the network, but Windows is just not
finding it. I can post my smb.conf file if anyone needs to see. Does
anyone know of anything necessary that I may have forgotten?

Thanks!!
