Maybe I was littlebit unclear. Setup is so that Printer is connected to 
my F10 machine and shared to network trough samba running on that 
machine. Then I will try to use my Vista laptop to access thar printer 
share. This point I get error on vista that it's unable to connect the 
printer. Printer works fine on Linux.

Normal file shares work without a problem from that server so user and 
so on is setup correctly. Most probably problem is either in samba 
access permissions on the Linux or between samba and cups. (So probably 
in either case I just don't get the config right.)
