printing on WIN2k from linux via CUPS

[Anonymous]

i run a linux box with the latest CUPS and SAMBA 2.2. i want to print on a laserjet connected to a win2k box. using smbspool and the uri smb://guest:guest@alfred/laserjet produces a printout. using the same uri in cups (and it is correct in the printer.conf file and as documented in the sam) gives the following error message in error_log:

obviously the transmitted device_uri is missing the user/password and connection is refused.

anybody has a solution for this?
