This is NOT a samba problem. Your CUPS server is not allowing samba to
connect to it. You will find in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf settings that control
this.
You will need to configure CUPS to permit samba to talk to it. Also, CUPS
must be started BEFORE samba is started - and of course - Samba must have
been built and linked with the CUPS libraries.
Mine works fine with the following settings:
(My local network is 192.168.1.0/24)
...
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>
<Location /printers>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
AuthType None
</Location>
<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>
