FC4 Printer Sharing

Howdy,
I'm having trouble getting my printer to share to my other Windows
computers on my network via Samba.  The funny thing is that I had this
set up a coupla years ago on FC2, and it was a piece of cake.  Now,
there's nothing but problems.

I turned on Samba and browsing for printers in Samba. My Windows
machines can now see my Linux machine via the Network Neighborhood, but
not the printer.

I turned on printer sharing in the system-config-printer utility, but
that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Here's the printer part of my smb.conf
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        browseable = yes
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
        guest ok = yes
;       writeable = no
        printable = yes
        public = yes

Any tips?

Thanks,
