Sharing Printer Linux + XP (cups/samba)

I keep getting a access denied error when I install from the XP wizard my Linux shared printer.

Code:

CUPS CONFIGURATION FILE
<Location /admin>
#
# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who
# is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks.  You can change
# the group name using the SystemGroup directive.

Listen *:631


SAMBA CONFIGURATION FILE
[global]
	workgroup = <ommited>
	username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
	encrypt passwords = yes
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
[plans]
	path = /plans
	writeable = yes

[printers]
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = yes
	writeable = no
	printable = yes

These are the cups and samba configuration files.

I dunno why I am getting the error. I am using Red Hat 9 with XP Home edition.

Also, when omit [printers] from the samba .conf file no shared printers are 'browseable' from the XP lap top. Does this point to an error with CUPS?

Because, basically it is being shared on the network, as I can select it in the Wizard - my problem is that the access from XP to Linux share is not allowed.

Can Anyone Help?
