Without thinking about this, have you walked through DIAGNOSIS.txt, which
comes in your samba sources?

What comes to mind are things like firewalls and network problems. Also,
Cups (which I do not use) may have some security issues. It is fun to make
the guest user root in smb.conf (just for testing!) and see if the problem
goes away.
