Problem 1 solved! Some typos in the smb.conf.

Now i have another problem:

if i print on w2k machine ther appears a spooling file in in the 
spooling folder = /var/spool/samba. But nothing more happens. In my CUPS 
Printer queue is nothing.

i took a look in the cup error_log and found the following:

I [26/Nov/2003:13:27:26 +0100] Job 8 queued on 'LaserJet_1300' by 
'thaberkern'.
I [26/Nov/2003:13:27:26 +0100] Started filter 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 12482) for job 8.
I [26/Nov/2003:13:27:26 +0100] Started backend 
/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket (PID 12483) for job 8.
