Printer problem

Hi,
I'm a completely new Samba user. I just installed with the SUSE 7.0
distribution the Samba package on my PC as Samba server and have one
Windows 98 client. I created the smb.conf-file with SWAT.
The access to the directories on the window client works fine, but I
don't get the access of to the printer attached to the Linux PC to work
from
the Windows client. Unfortunately everything is in German, but I did
my best to translate to English.
I see the printers in the Network Neighborhood on the Client.
When I want to install the Samba-printer on the client, I come to the
point when I am asked to give a name to the printer. After pressing the
Next button,
I get the following message (translated form German):
The printer could not be initialized. Stop all programs, restart
windows and repeat everything again. Contact your system administrator
if the error occurred again.
Thats all. Restarting doesn't held at all. There is no message in the
log-files on the Samba-Server.
I tried lots of changes in the smb.conf file without getting any
difference. Is there an error in my Samba, Linux or Windows
configuration?
I have no idea anymore what the problem is.
I appended the smb.conf and printcap file.
I would be nice if someone could help me
Thank you very much,
Peer
