[Samba] Desperate plea for help with printer share

[Mark LaPierre]

Hey Y'all,

I've been trying for months to get samba to share my printer with my 
wife's Win XP machine.  I've RTFM, and spent hours on google to no avail.

I can't see the printer from Windows so I can't mount it up.  Nothing 
appears in the logs.  The file shares work just fine.

It looks like I've got Samba 3.6.9 on this machine:

[mlapier at mushroom samba]$ rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-swat-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-doc-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-client-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-winbind-clients-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-common-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-winbind-devel-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-winbind-krb5-locator-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-domainjoin-gui-3.6.9-151.el6.i686
samba-winbind-3.6.9-151.el6.i686

Is there anything else I can share with you that will help you to 
diagnose my problem?
