Hi, I have a debian server running samba connected to a local USB printer. I also have a dual boot laptop with windows Vista on it. I can print fine from the server and the linux side of the laptop using CUPS, and even though I can see my home directory via samba in Vista, I can't get it to detect any printers. Vista is on the same Workgroup, I've lowered the firewall, but still windows won't detect it.
An Nmap from the laptop shows ports 22,25,80,111,139,445,631 and 2049(all tcp) open. My Samba config is at the bottom, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
