[PLUG] Samba-Cups printing to w32 printer


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I can print from the CUPS web interface test page.  I can print from KDE apps.  
I can't print from anywhere else.

get the message:

    Status Information:
     sending job 'arthur@localhost+82' to EpsonColorInkjet@localhost
     connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
     cannot open connection to localhost - No such file or directory
    Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
    and accepts connections from this host and from non-privileged (>1023) 
ports

That is the output of an lpr command as well as trying to print from nedit or 
mozilla.

EpsonColorInkjet is not on localhost.  It is a w32 printer on smb name 
¨chubby¨.  

I have read every online how-to I could find, the cups manuals, and every 
samba book I could find at B&N. Nothing seems to work.  Suggested 
troubleshooting tells me my system is fine.  Contents of /etc/printcap is 
simply

EpsonColorInkjet:
HP5si:

Any ideas?
