That's interesting. I had the same problem, despite "guest ok = yes". I fixed it by using "security = share" Now the printer status is "opening" instead of "Access Denied, Unable to Connect" and all computers on my network can print without a problem. This is fine for my current situation, but I would have prefered to have security = user, but still have the printer be publicly available. I couldn't get it to work that way, though.
