This work for me:

1: Make and configure the Cups printer exactly as described in the Samba
HOWTO, editing files as documented;
2: Don't put anything in [global]
3: Edit the [printers] section of smb.conf. Mine looks like this and XP
can print to it ;)

[printers]
        comment = Epson C42UX
        path = /var/spool/samba/raw_q
        printer admin = @domadm
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        use client driver = Yes
        browseable = No

4: Reload or restart smb services.
