Samba +printersharing FC5


Hi, I am trying to share a printer between my linuxserver (fedora core 5) and the local (win) machines on my network. I can get the printer to work, but only when I login to the server, in other words, using the login-window that appeares when doing \\server\ in winxp.

How do I setup the printer to be accessible without needing to login?

Have read some pages on the net, but I can't get it working..

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
public = yes
guest ok = yes --> this do need the account pcguest to be created? And how do I do this with no password for that user (local user)?
read only = yes
writable = no
printable = yes

Now I got it working, changed security from user -> share..

That made the login-window when doing \\serverip\ dissappear in winxp..
