access printer on linux host from winxp guest (VMWARE 4.5.2)[SOLVED]

[Yuandan Zhang]

Hi,
Just feedback a bit progress. In fact,  printers on winxp guest via the 
samba sever worked despite showing access denied, unable to connect.

As I use shared printers on FC3 host, the vmware service must be up 
prior to cupsd. I guess because cups share printers with vmnet1 and vmnet8.
