Why can't I print?

Greetings all!
I am trying to get smb printing working on a RH 5 Linux System.
I hope that any win95 machine can print to the network printer which the
linux system is configured to print through.
You can see my smb.conf at http://www.qletter.com/smb.txt (anything wrong?).
The printer is a network printer on a DPI box.
The guest user (nosam) can print to the printer when logged on from the
Linux console.
I hope I have it set so that users who print are "guest".
I can see the printer on the linux machine from win95 explorer.
I set it up as a printer from that win95 machine by browsing to the linux
machine, so I know that the printer and host are spelled correctly.
When I try to print, it says that it cannot find the name on the network. I
am not sure if it is talking about the host or the printer.
I have set up the Print Command to print to a file, and I get the same error.
I have read the docs.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
