Well, two more final suggestions.

Make sure your setting in Windows - Control Panel - Network - Access are set 
to Share and not User level access.

Make sure your printer definition for cups is correct...  To make sure, pop 
open a browser to port 631 on your localhost  http://localhost:631 and 
reconfigure your printer.... make sure cups is running....

One of my smb printers defined on my Linux box running CUPs... 

/etc/cups/printers.conf
....
<Printer COMPAQ>
Info Compaq On Windoze Box
Location 192.168.1.5
DeviceURI smb://dozesucks/compaq
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

If yours is not like the one above reconfigure your printer in cups admin 
interface and see if you can print a test page.  If not scrap cups and go 
back to lprng.

On my RH8 box I can switch between the two CUPs or LPRnG.... not that you 
would want to do that .... but from time to time...
