[CALUG] Samba shared printer

I give up...  I was going to try to do this myself, but it isn't  
working.  The best results I ever achieved was printing about 10  
minutes after I printed the document...

I am also trying to share a directory with read/write rights.  I want  
to be able to access the shared directory without a password.

I am running:
Linux version 2.6.16.13-4-default (geeko at buildhost) (gcc version 4.1.0  
(SUSE Linux)) #1 Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006

I can print fine from linux using lpr <filename>.  I can print a test  
page from the cups GUI normally.

I will be printing via this box and using the shared directory from  
Windows XP boxes.  (I gave up using my laptop wirelessly in Linux.)

Can you help me???
