Can't print to Windows SMB with CUPS

Running Arch 64-bit, kernel 2.6.17-beyond

I have a Canon printer that has no linux drivers, so I thought I would try to connect it to a Windows computer, share it, and access it via samba with CUPS. For whatever reason, that Windows computer only lets me access it with a password. When I use smbclient -N, it says access denied. So in CUPS I set the uid in the form smb://userw@WORKGROUP/COMPUTER/printer (smb://COMPUTER/printer kept giving me CIF errors). Now it seems to work, but nothing comes out of the printer. The cups error_log shows nothing that looks suspicious to me:
