Printing from Hardy to Printer on Windows XP

Hi All.

I'm having a small issue printing to my new HP 2180 printer, attached to 
a Windows XP box and made available to the outside world via smb.  I'm 
fairly certain that I've set it up all OK from Administration -> 
Printing.  At least when the Add New Printer setup procedure scans for 
the printer it says it's there.

Anyhow, the issue I'm having is that whenever I attempt to print to this 
printer from Hardy I'm getting the following error: "Can not get the 
ticket cache for simon" (where 'simon' is my Hardy user-name) in CUPS.

The output from running smbclient -L goodvibes-desk ('goodvibes-desk' is 
my Windows XP box name), that clearly lists my printer, is:

Domain=[GOODVIBES-DESK] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
