I followed the steps in
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/sharing_with_window
s.html to the letter and it didn't work.

Luckily the http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/425 had the two
lines I needed to add;

Allow From 192.168.1.* in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.

and do

chmod 777 /home/smbprint

and now I can print from my Win Xp machine to a printer connected to my
Debian server ... yeah !!!
