Hello:
I believe this how-to by Firewing1 should help you get it up and running. Shared printing: Linux to Mac OS X, Windows and of course other Linux boxes!

Hello:
What version of FC do you have and have you updated your system ?
If it is FC6 then have a look at this bug : Bugzilla
If it is the same issue that you have and it looks that way to me at a quick scan, you may have to wait a few days for a resolution.
