samba question

[smertz <smertens@mho.com>]

I did a install of RH ES4 a week ago and am very new to Linux. I want 
this box to be a file and print server for a home WORKGROUP, not a DOMAIN.

So first problem is I am tying to set up a printer to share with my 2 
windows XP boxes. However they can not browse to the printer or see it 
with the add printer wizard in XP. Since my DNS info comes from my ISP, 
I'm wondering what needs to be set in Globals section for domain master 
browser.  Also does the Linux box need to be part of the WORKGROUP?

Does anything have to be set up in XP for them to see this printer on 
Linux attached locally to a USB port.  I can see and print to it in 
Linux.  I know there have been volums written on Samba, but it seems to 
me sharing a printer should be simple.

I just want XP users to use their own driver and use the guest account 
for printing.  Fro win XP I can see the Linux box, but can't see the 
Printer.

My smb.conf file.
