Printing Issue with Samba - or maybe Samba is not blame

| Fedora Core 1, Samba version: 3.0.0-15
When I try to print to my samba-"shared" Printer physically connected
to the Linux server, the print job leaves the Windows client without
any error messages as if it tunneled to the Linux machine without any
problems... but it doesn't print and I can't identify what the problem
is. Here what my samba config file looks like (notice any thing
wrong?):
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = SCNMASTERGROUP
server string = sleekcollar samba server
password server = None
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home
read only = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes

[www]

[s068913]

[ snipped smb.conf ]
Does printing on the Fedora PC itself work as expected?

| Yes, printing on the Fedora PC itself works just fine. The printer is
setup as the one and only default printer and all applications running
locally on the machine can print to it fine without even the slightest
need to identify where the printer is or any other technical/command
line input options.....

There is very little information. The fact that you say in smb.conf that
printing = cups. Do you really use cups printing?
Try the default samba print command. If this fails, you should look at
the server side.
Why do you make a special share for slkmprinter? You already share all
you cups printers?
