How to share my HP LaserJet 1018 printer with Vista

I've installed a HP LaserJet 1018 printer on my Fedora 8 using drivers from foo2zjs.rkkda.com, and it works well.
Currently I use Samba to share files between my Fedora desktop and Vista laptop.

Now I want to share the HP printer with my Vista laptop through the home network.
But I could not.
From my Vista laptop, I can access the shared directories and files on Fedora,
but can not find any printers there.
Could anyone help me out of here?
Really appreciate it.

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:-------------------------------------------->>>
