Two problems in parallel.
Solve one, and than the next.
I prefer first samba as fileserver, and then cups.

At this point the smb.conf is correct for cups.
But set at [printers] " browseable = yes".

This isn't a samba problem. With the lpr from cups, you must be able to
print via command line. If not,  samba can't print too, because samba
sit on top of unix. 

If the cups server runs on "biggie2", phil_cups.conf should be ok.

With <TextWebbrowserOfYouChoice> http://localhost:631, you can check
the permissons of the cups server.

Try to login as pippo from your commandline:

smbclient //<samba-maschine>/www -U pippo -W KITCHEN

If this failed, your samba conf isn't suitable.
Take a look in the logfile /var/log/log.<YourMaschineName>
If there are not enough information, increase the debug level of smbd.


Try it after this setup with yout w2k system.

guest account:

Nor in passwd, wether in smbpasswd i can see a "pcguest" useraccount.
But you told samba to use this account for guest access.

The same for the user administrator. This can't be coorect.

unix user = samba user 

passwd    -> smbpasswd: Problem: password!

The password "crypt" of windows systems can't handled by unix, so this
is the resaon for smbpasswd.

One user, two password's: unix password, samba/windows password.

There are a chance to map samba usernames to unix usernames, but first
this must be run with native accounts.

This must be a valid unix user account (ftp, nobody...).

Think about character sets:

	character set = ISO8859-1
	client code page = 437
