Funny. I had this same problem just a few days ago. I googled around
until I came up with this smb.conf

I think that         
        hosts allow = 192.168.0. 
        hosts deny = ALL

and 
        guest ok = Yes  

are were the lines that did it. 

Notice that the printer hpviatilda is set up in CUPS with that same
name.

good luck.
