[Samba] Frustrated with Samba and CUPS

I'm sure you've seen that subject line before....
I can't get Samba (via Swat) to see my CUPS printers at all.
I've tried everything I can think of...the single network-connected printer
is listed in CUPS and I've added it on the command-line (via printconf-tui).
I can send a test page to it from the CUPS web-interface and also through
the printconf-tui interface. I can "cat foo | lpr", so I am absolutely sure
the printer is connected, usable and available.
In smb.conf:
printcap name = cups
Also, I added these during the fight to get this working just in case...(all
the paths exist and contain files that work). I've noticed that when I set
up 'printers' it chooses "browseable = No" even when I choose 'Yes' - not
sure how or why.
[printers]
path = /tmp
guest account = lp
printer admin = @ftp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[printers$]
comment = printer_drivers
path = /usr/share/postscript/ppd/en
guest ok = Yes
[print$]
path = /data/print_drivers
guest ok = Yes
Please help...I really need to get this up and running ASAP.
Thanks,
GregW
