USB-printer sharing

[Hiisi]

Dear Fedora folks!
I'm trying to setup home server using F11 desktop. The computer has 3
Ethernet devices (1 integrated on motherboard and 2 additional in
PCI-slots). It's connected to the Internet via eth0 and shares network
for Windows laptop on eth1 using NAT. This part works grate. Currently
I'm trying to share HP DeskJet-3650 USB printer, connected to the main
desktop. I installed and started samba and tuned printer through
CUPS-gui at http://localhost:631. Then I installed network printer from
laptop's WinXP-gui as http://<F11desktopIP>:631/printers/deskjet-3600
There wasn't exactly my printer model, so I choose HP DeskJet driver
without any specific model. The problem is: I can't print from Windows
machine. CUPS error log says:
E [27/Jul/2009:00:17:51 +0400] Missing printer-uri, job-uri, or ppd-name
attribute!
E [27/Jul/2009:00:17:51 +0400] Returning IPP client-error-bad-request
for windows-ext (no URI) from <laptop' IP>
What's wrong with it? I can't understand/google the error. Any help
would be appreciated.
Here's some additional information:
conf-files are really long, so I put them on a web-hosting.
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf can be found here: http://kello.ru/tmp/cupsd.conf
And here's /etc/samba/smb.conf: http://kello.ru/tmp/smb.conf
Do you need any additional information? Thanks in advance!

Samba is not required to print from Windows XP client via CUPS.

How did you obtain this URL.

The best way to obtain the URL is to simply open http://server:631/printers

The main page contains a link for all installed printers. Open the link for
your printer, and the resulting URL is the URL that Windows XP should be
configured to use.

This is very unlikely. HP not shipping a Windows driver for your printer is
just as likely as me winning the lottery. You most certainly have the
drivers for your HP printer on a CD. After you've specified the URL when
setting up the CUPS printer in Windows XP, you'll be asked to select a
driver. Select the appropriate driver from the CD. The last component of the
CUPS URL has absolutely nothing to do with the driver name.

It seems this time you won the race! There's a lot of models, but not my
printer. So, I choose HP DeskJet without any model.
Now I have either error in the error log or 'success' entry, but nothing
happens (no printing made). Is it Window$ bug or something?
