[Samba] Cannot delete shared Printer from XP Home

I have a printer, using CUPS, run from linux (redhat 9) using Samba 3.0.22 to share 
it between some windows PCs.  I wanted to remove the printer from one of the XP 
Home PCs, but the deletion process is apparently getting stuck.  The printer status 
remains "deleting", but the printer never gets deleted.  By chance is there some 
communication between XP and Samba that is hanging?  I'm not seeing any error 
messages in the log files.  Is there something that I may do in XP to force a removal 
of the printer?

Here is my smb.conf file:
