By, "They do not show up in samba", is that from the
Samba or Windows client?  Sometimes Windows take a bit
to notice, for best results try: "smbclient -L localhost
-U [user]" and see if they show up. 

Do you have a [printers] share and a load printers = Yes?
If not you need to add print share explicitly in smb.conf.

Dan,

They do not show up using smbclient either. I have a printers share, and I
have load printers set to yes.

John,
Samba was compiled but not linked against cups. I didn't have the mime stuff
set in cups, I do now. But why does samba pick up my 5 printers without
being linked to cups? 




Below is my smb.conf
