does anyone share a printer under linux using cups and samba?  i have
an hp deskjet printer attached to a linux box using cups - this works
fine, but i can't seem to get my win2k box to print to it via samba.  
here's some lines from my samba config that i thought would be all i
needed to do:

[global]
   printing = cups
   printcap name = lpstat
   load printers = yes
   guest account = nobody
..
[printers]
   comment = HP DeskJet 630C
   browseable = yes
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0700
   guest ok = yes
   print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r
   lpq command = lpstat -p %p
   lprm command = cancel %p-%j


i can add a network printer in win2k as \\linuxhostname\printers and
win2k prompts me to add drivers for the printer etc, but when it's
added i still get permission isses when i try to do anything with the
printer.  

anyone have a similar setup working?
