Samba 3 is pretty good about reloading the smbconf file after it
changes automatically. You don't need to send a SIGHUP to all smbd's
like in 2.2.x. Even in 2.2.x you didn't need to restart, reloading
was sufficient (unless it was a major change, like telling samba to
listen on different interfaces, etc).

What is security mode in the [global] section? That's the first thing
to check :). The default is User, and in that case the windows box
must be able to log in before it connects to the share, even though
the share is public.
Is the driver installed locally on the client (intead of installed
from the samba print$ share)? Is the client W2K or higher? Does
printing actually succeed, though shows the '... unable to connect'
status? If you answered yes to a bunch of those questions, then
usually it's a matter of setting up the print$ share and adding the
driver to samba via the APW, or setting "use client driver = yes" in
smb.conf. If you have the time, setting up the print$ share is the
better solution than use client driver.
Anything of interest in the samba logs?
btw, there were a few print bugs in 3.0.2a, including a segfault
(sometimes). 3.0.3 is out now, though.
