In your smb.conf file you seem to be missing a couple of things.
In the [global] section you might want to add the following lines:
load printers = yes
printing = cups
Also, you have the [print$] share for the printer drivers, but the $ at
the end denotes that Windows machines will not see it when browsing...
you can get to it by explicitely going to it (ie Start -> Run ->
\\server\print$). DO NOT remove the $ sign as Windows requires it to
be "hidden" in order to find the drivers properly. *Grant shakes his
head*.
More than that, you are missing the printer definition itself:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = no
read >
create mask = 0700
As an aside, you have the "netlogon" share... unless you're going to be
running this Samba server as a Windows "domain controller", you really
don't need this.
