[gentoo-user] Firewalling and Sambra printer.

Hello,
I have two computers (that are involved in this problem), phoenix is my Gentoo 
workstation and desktop-1 is someone else's Windows box. Someone else happens 
to have a printer and I don't, so, from time to time I use his printer. The 
printer is shared, obviously, thru SMB (it's a windows box). I configured 
CUPS to connect to it (I just used the KDE Kcontrol to configure it).
My problem is that when I bring up my firewall (a firewall using iptables on 
phoenix, just protecting phoenix) printing stops working. In fact, all access 
to desxtop-1 thru smb stops working.
The firewall is very simple, a simple stateful all-incomming-closed firewall:

# iptables -vL
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 35510 packets, 16M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               
destination
 329K  558M ACCEPT     all  --  lo     any     anywhere             anywhere
  36M   54G ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            
state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
    3   228 ACCEPT     icmp --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            
icmp echo-request limit: avg 30/min burst 5
  120  7057 ACCEPT     icmp --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere
    1    60 ACCEPT     tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            
tcp dpt:ssh

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               
destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 21M packets, 3426M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               
destination
phoenix ~ #

Do you know why after bringing up this firewall I can't use the printer 
anymore and/or how to solve it ?

Thank you.
