Bill, I think you also need "guest only = Yes" to suppress the password.
This works for me from Windows 95a, and with share level security.

Here's my printers section:

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        printing = cups
        print command = lpr -oraw -r -P'%p' %s
        browseable = No
