[Samba] sharing printer without login?

[Mark Kruse]

Make sure you don't have the firewall blocking it.  I had this problem a few
days ago.  Check ipchains to see if it is blocking.  If you're behind a
hardware or other firewall, you might want to get rid of it completely.  Not
totally sure if I have this command right, but I believe it's 'ipchains -D'
to remove all of them...
