2.2.2 printing.

Hello,
I am using RH 7.1 with CUPS and a printer connected to it. I also have
a windows machine running XP. I have been able to print from
windows->linux
via samba 2.0.7.
Since samba 2.0.7 does not seem to be
able to show printer queues with CUPS I tried to upgrade to 2.2.2
(using rpm's from rawhide).
I kept my smb.conf file. Initially this worked well and I could
manipulate
printer queues. However after a reboot of the XP machine the
printer icon gives an "Unable to connect" message. From then on I am
unable to print
(not even a test page).
Reinstalling the printer driver does not work. The samba log files do
not seem
to show anything relevant.
Down grading to 2.0.7 allows me to print again.
I would appreciate any pointers to what could be the cause of this
problem.
Here is an excerpt of my smb.conf file. I think it is perfectly
standard.
