Add the IP address of the Linux box to the \Windows\lmhosts file on the
laptop.
The problem with this is that it allows printer connections from an
untrusted network. You can have Samba use "security = user" and "encrypt
passwords = yes" to get some protection. You can also use "hosts allow =
network/netmask" to restrict connections to your own network and that of the
ISP your laptop users will use.
