Did it also work on vista? Or just from linux or win xp machine. Another 
thing is that the printer is allready set in cups and samba should 
automaticly make working the printer share. It actually makes the share 
and I can see it from my windows machine after logging in to samba 
server, can also access files shared on normal fileshare like users home 
directory.

Your solution is nice, but it goes past the cups which isn't very 
elegant even if it's working correctly. And one to try if the share 
still doesn't work in windows xp in addition to vista as there was some 
changes to smb-protocol in vista. I Have found some people complaining 
about same problem, but haven't find any solutions yet. Which was why I 
asked in the list if someone else would have encountered it and maybe 
found some other workaround than just using cups directly.
