[Samba] Problem printing with WinXP and samba

I am having problems printing from my XP machine to a printer hosted from
a linux redhat 8 w/samba2.2.7-2 installed. I can see the printer fine
from \\[server] (browsing from network places) and I can see other shares
and stuff, but once I install the printer, it says "access denied, unable
to connect". So I'm assuming that I need to set security on a file
somewhere, but since I'm fairly new to linux, I need a little help knowing
what files to set.
/var/spool/lpd looks like this:
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 9 02:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Dec 5 08:01 ..
drwx------ 2 lp lp 4096 Dec 9 05:07 CS3
And the above permissions are recursively set throughout the CS3
directory.
/var/spool/samba looks like this:
total 8
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Dec 9 05:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Dec 5 08:01 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lp lp 18 Dec 9 02:31 CS3 ->
/var/spool/lpd/CS3
Do printers and their objects have to be set to LP to print? LP is a
group, so should I just add each user to the LP group, or is there a
better/easier way?
Or am I just missing something? :)
