samba and cupsys: print from xp


Ok, so i finally setup a cupsys and samba server, yet i cannot print from winxp. I can go into my computer and install the printer, but when it comes to printing i get a StartDocPrint error, where it says it failed to StartDocPrint. I've tried various setups from other sites and stuff, but haven't gotten it to work, anyone have any advice? I think i got the path wrong and should go with another one, but i have no idea which one to set.
Here is my smb.conf
Code:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2005/01/02 21:09:17

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = DOOM
	server string = %h server (Samba %v)
	security = SHARE

	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
	syslog = 0
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 1000
