Question problem with samba printer sharing on red hat 8.0


hi,

i'm using red hat 8.0 with Samba version 2.2.5 ...
my printer was successfully recognized by red hat...
it's even printing (BUT NOT WITH SAMBA)...

if i go to ther printer manager in RedHat 8.0, i can enter different settings:
my printer is currently cofigured as a local printer...

might that be the reason that samba doesn't show the printer to the public?
do i have to modify this setting?
