You would add it to the [global] section of the smb.conf.  It's a hairy config to edit, so be sure to run testparm on it to make sure it works before restarting.  And make backups!

This must be text I have to add because I don't see anywhere  in smb.conf that I can add the ports. Sorry but I need to know what to type in.

okay james..... I am figuing that this is done at.... I've been looking for how to this for A while now. How do you do it? There it is. I found a GUI app that did it called 'firestarter'. Unfortunately opening the ports didn't help the situation any. ports 137-139 and 445 are now open.

The error pasted is about name services, not printing.  XP being XP, have you tried setting the samba box up for port 139 instead of 445?

okay.... I enabled the guest account but that didn't improve the situation any. I checked localhost:631 and the printer is listed. (weird thing, from the laptop it is listed as a different model. It works so I don't really care)

====
1) As you initially asked, your XP account name was changed.  Please refer to the enabling of the guest account HowTo in:  http://unixwiz.net/techtips/samba-xp-printing.html  NOTE: I am assuming that these machines are protected inside your network, since it's usually a BAD IDEA to enable the guest account otherwise.  Verify your WORKGROUP and NetBIOS name in XP.

Please, then, attempt to connect from XP and tail the log and see what Samba is whining about?

 Not sure of the logs name. Can you help me out? I also don't know about the net
