samba - Nov 2004 - Cann't get Windows XP system to find Samba printers

I have a Brothre HL-1440 laser on my Linux system I wish to share. But, 
I can not get the Windows system to "see" it. I already have disk
shares
That the windows system can access, so something is working Here is my 
entries in smb.conf
   load printers = yes
   printcap name = cups
   printing = cups
   security = share
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   create mode = 0700
   guest only = yes
   use client driver = yes
   guest account = smbprint
   path = /home/smbprint

in cups.conf
<Location /printers>
#
# You may wish to limit access to printers and classes, either with Allow
# and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.
#
 AuthType None
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny From None
 Allow From All
</Location>

mine.convs
application/octet-stream        application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -

mime.types
application/octet-stream

But, when I try to add a network printer on the XP system it lists the 
network and the name of the Linux system. But, no printers under the 
Linux system.

Running cups adminisration shows the printer named 1440 and ready for jobs.

What else do I need to do?

Jeff,

    I have my laserjet working well. I have pasted bits and pieces of my 
config for comparison below:

Try
[printers]

            comment = The Printers

            path = /var/spool/samba

            guest ok = Yes

            public = Yes

            writeable = no

            printable = Yes

            browseable = no

Mine works like this:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 127.0.0.2
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>

#<Location /printers>
#
# You may wish to limit access to printers and classes (I don't use this at 
all)
#
#</Location>




Make sure cups has created the printers.conf for your printer (example):

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.19
