Unable to print from windozXP to FC4 cups printer

Folks -
I've always been able to print pre FC4.
I was so impressed with FC4 performance, that I think I got carried away
with my samba/cups configurations. Saddly, I didn't save the old conf's
to fall back on.
When I set-up the printer on windoz, it seems to go OK, but the printer
status is "Access denied, unable to connect".
Attempting to print a test page yields a fatal Windows Explorer error.
The printer is an HP LaserJet 4P that has worked flawlessly for 6 years,
and still works flawlessly on the linux FC4 box.
I've included my smb.conf and cupsd.conf files. I have spent many
hours/days on the cups and samba sites trying to get a working
configuration. I'm just too close to this to see my error.
The shares work great, it's just the printer.
Help in spotting my screw-up would be greatly appreciated.
Tom
