[ale] Windows printing through samba?

I've got my wife's Windows laptop set up finally for school (yeah,
winsux is required required).  Anyway, I've got a happy little cups
system that ll my linux boxes can print through nicely.  I have
installed samba on the printer server and set it up.  I've added the
printer to her laptop and installed the drivers but when I print I get
nothing.  The laptop seems to think the printjob went but in my samba
logs I get this:

{0}:/var/log/samba>cat log.smbd
[2004/01/11 06:28:17, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printer_fn(108)
  Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused


{1}:/var/log/samba>cat log.dana 
[2004/01/07 22:20:38, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(342)
  read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

Her machine is 192.168.0.201 "dana"...  In my /etc/cupsd.conf I have this:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.0.*
</Location>



Anyone have any thoughts on what I might have missed?  I'm still poking
but I can't find anything yet.
