Well, one part of the problem is that the printer is set up NOT
to allow guest access, so you have to have a valid user/password
to print.  (guest ok = no)  Also, unless you have changed the
registry, NT and 98 require encripted passwords, and you have
not enabled then in your Samba config.  Can you access your home
directory if you try using a valid user id for the unix box?
