Hi. I moved my printer from parallel port on Win98 to parallel port on
FreeBSD. I can now print from FreeBSD using CUPS (hooray!). But I've had a
lot of trouble even adding a printer share on my Win98 client. The printer
share is browsable. (Though I had to give a password. I thought guest ok
would not require password). But Win98 would always error saying "Could not
add printer." I never figured out why. Anyway, I had the printer driver
installed on Win98 already (printer used to live there). I added a "port"
and changed from parallel to "\\Cadence\epson" within the exising printer
properties. Win98 accepted it. But is it valid? I print from notepad and
see my print job in the printer queue from Win98. But CUPS says it's nowhere
to be found. Nothing. I assume my problem is with Samba, since I can print
from CUPS locally.

What in the world am I doing wrong? I turned up log level to "4", but the
problem isnt apparent to me. My [homes] does work when I map it through
explorer.

My smb.conf:
[global]
   log level = 1
   workgroup = MANDK
   server string = Cadence
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
   load printers = yes
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   pid directory = /var/run/
  lock directory = /var/spool/lock/
   printcap name = cups
   printing = cups
  guest account = ftp
   log file = /var/log/samba.%m
   max log size = 500
   security = user
  encrypt passwords = yes
  lanman auth = no
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   interfaces = sis0
   bind interfaces only = yes
   browseable = yes
   local master = yes
   os level = 33
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   domain logons = yes
   wins support = yes
   dns proxy = no
   template homedir = /home/%U

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writeable = yes
   guest ok = no
   create mode = 0770
   directory mode = 0770
   read only = no
 [netlogon]
   comment = Network Logon Service
   path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
   guest ok = yes
   writeable = no
   share modes = no
   read only = yes
[Profiles]
    path = /usr/local/samba/profiles
    browseable = no
    guest ok = yes
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = Yes
   guest ok = yes
   writeable = no
   printable = yes
