Here's the short form.. I think I used : "http://cupssrv:631/printers/printer"
Now you can set up the new network printer. In the Control Panel select "Add Printer", "Network Printer", and then "Connect to printer on the Internet or your intranet". The URL I use is:
<x-tad-bigger>http://rock:631/classes/Home
</x-tad-bigger>Replace 'rock' with the hostname of your Linux server, and replace 'Home' with the name of the class that you defined earlier.

Actually, you don't even need samba.. you can print cups/ipp directly

How do you do this? I am interested...
I'll second that...
Take a dig through the samba logs as well, and see if it tells you
anything..
The only thought I have offhand is check the permissions on
/var/spool/samba and make sure your user can write to it.. or change
it to /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 14 12:34 samba
nope...

Gang,
I have a problem that has been perplexing me for days. I have a machine
serving as a print server so I can print from my laptop over my WIFI
network.
Lately a guy who works here bought his own laptop running XP so I
figured I'd
set up Samba so he could print as well. Im using CUPS and can print from
Linux perfectly.
When I try to install the printer I can't find it by browsing. Probably
because of browseable = no in my smb.conf. However if I type in
\\server\printer XP finds the printer and installs it. Then I try to
print,
and judging by the activity on the wireless NIC it tries over and
over to
send it to the printer unsuccessfully. XP shows an access denied
error as
well. Relevant config is below. Thanks!
number5 root # cat /etc/printcap
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file

Canon_i350|i350:rm=number5:rp=Canon_i350:
number5 root # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
workgroup = WORKGROUP
guest account = smbguest
encrypt passwords = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root, @ntadmins
Im also clueless about Samba security, if anyone has a tip or two.
