Sharing a printer using samba


I have a Samsung ML-2010 printer connected to Fedora core 4 machine. I want to use this printer to print from Windows XP. How do I do this?
I tried modifying smb.conf but no luck.

this is my smb.conf

Code:
[global]
	workgroup = linux
	server string = linux
	security = user
	encrypt passwords = yes
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	log file = /var/log/samba.%m
	max log size = 50
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY
	preferred master = yes
	wins support = yes
	dns proxy = no
	username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
	guest ok = no
	guest account = nobody
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	load printers = yes
	printing = cups
	cups options = "raw"
	use client driver = no

[linux]
	comment = linux
	path = /
	browseable = yes
	writeable = yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	public = yes
	guest ok = yes
	writable = no
	printable = yes
	security = user

[SamsungM]
	printer name = lp
	comment = SamsungM
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = yes
	writeable = yes
	printable = yes
	public = yes
	security = user
	print command = lp

Any recomendations?

One more questions. How do I let samba root login? I'm a slackware user, and I can login as root from xp machines but this doesnt' work in FC4. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,
James
