use smbclient on you machine to see the shares on the server. this will
show whether the two machines have a good dialog (the "net view
\\server"-like command)

is the lpd dameon up and running on the server (you need this to define a
non-smb remote printer on you laptop). check this : configure and use an
lpr printer from a win$ box onto the server

also try and access a printer share on a win$ box from your laptop. if it
works it will show that it's a server config problem
