I enabled 'guest ok', made no difference. Enabled encrypted passwords, 
made no difference either. From the comment/warning in smb.conf, I 
guess there is more encrypted passwords than just enabling it (the 
referenced README files are not in the FreeBSD package, I'll go download 
the source).

Don't understand your last question, I only wanted printer access, so
I had not bothered with filesystem access. I tried double clicking 
the Unix system from network neighborhood but I just get (NT) 
'Incorrect password or unknown username for <blank> <blank>". 
Adding my Unix username and password gives the same message. 
Win98 just says 'no permission to access resource'.

Is there a more detailed tutorial on the web anyone can point me to
about sharing Unix printers (for use from NT and Win98) ?
