I have a Brothre HL-1440 laser on my Linux system I wish to share. But,
I can not get the Windows system to "see" it. I already have disk shares
That the windows system can access, so something is working Here is my
entries in smb.conf
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
security = share
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
printable = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0700
guest only = yes
use client driver = yes
guest account = smbprint
path = /home/smbprint
in cups.conf
<Location /printers>
#
# You may wish to limit access to printers and classes, either with Allow
# and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.
#
AuthType None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From None
Allow From All

But, when I try to add a network printer on the XP system it lists the
network and the name of the Linux system. But, no printers under the
Linux system.
Running cups adminisration shows the printer named 1440 and ready for jobs.
What else do I need to do?
