[wellylug] Samba problem

I have a bit of an odd Samba problem. I've got a Gentoo 1.4_rc4 box
running CUPS and Samba sharing a printer on the network. I can print to
it perfectly from my Gentoo box but Windows PCs (running W2K) cannot
print to the printer in question.
The Windows boxes can get to a shared directory on the Samba server but
not the printer. I have pasted my /etc/samba/smb.conf file below:


[global]
        server string = Gentoo Linux Server
        security = USER
        min passwd length = 1
        map to guest = Bad User
        null passwords = Yes
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        log level = 1
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = No
        dns proxy = No
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        write cache size = 262144
        printing = cups
        printer name = Deskjet

[printers]
        comment = All printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = Yes

[Deskjet930C]
        path = /tmp
        printable = Yes

[Shared]
        path = /share

[Deskjet]
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        oplocks = No
