Samba Cups and Windows Client

I have just joined the list and apologize for posting the first day, but 
I have worked most of the day on my problems and was unsuccessful.  My 
configuration is:

    Kubuntu installed on PC workstation which has ethernet card and a 
USB Brother Printer
    Three laptops - two with Windows XP and one with Windows XP Pro
    The computers are connected by a wireless router.  Belkin Pre-N

My main goal was to print from my Windows XP laptops to the Brother 
Pinter. 

I have my Brother Printer printing locally, but have not been able to 
see it or find it from the Windows clients.  I installed Samba and made 
several modifications recommended on Ubuntu forums. I modified Cups conf 
file as well.  I can see the Kubuntu network from my Windows laptops, 
but when I try to enter network, I get a Windows logon popup asking for 
username and password.  I have tried the Samba username and password as 
well as the Kubuntu username and password, but neither combination worked.

 From what I have written, can anyone help me?  Other than this 
important (for me) issue, I really like Kubuntu.

Thanks,

Jim
