Can your Windows machine still see the printer?

I mean, if you open up Windows Explorer and type in \\ubuntuboxhostname 
(replacing ubuntuboxhostname for the name of your Ubuntu  machine) does 
it list the printer amongst any folder shares?

I'm just wondering if for some reason the smb.conf file might have been 
altered and your printer share removed?
