I've made a patch which should allow anonymous user to access to the printer but I can't get guest to list the computers, it looks like there's a bug in smbclient:

The Lines "Server" and "Workgroup" are empty when a username(guest) is provided, but have the correct informations if the connection fails with "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"! That's why the "anonymous" login can list the computers and the "guest" can't. And there's something even more strange:
[smarter@fenny ~/Builds/kdelibs]% smbclient -N -L 'WINXP' -W WORKSGROUP
Domain=[PAPA] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

There's no "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" message if you don't use the -A<file> option!

kdelibs .debs with my patch are available at: http://ppa.launchpad.net/smarter/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdelibs/ (the *ubuntu3.2~ppa4_*.deb packages).
