Did you say you were using Cups?
What does 'smbclient -L YOURNETBIOSNAME -U%' tell you?
What does Swat tell you?

F.ex. on this test rig, 'smbclient -L TRU -U%' gives me:

Epson Printer Epson Stylus
Epson_Samba Printer Epson_Samba

for my printer. These are as I installed them for Cups. I haven't told
Samba (3.0.9 in this case) to use Cups, that's the default - and it looks
for Cups printers using libcups.so.2. How do I know (I'm relatively new to
Samba)? It says so in the docs.

Yes, I can see my printer in XP's Control Panel.
