I haven't seen an answer to this, so I'll throw in my 2 cents.  Windows
2000 and XP print differently than Windows 9x.  

I haven't tried them with Samba in a few years, and I'm sure there's a way to
make it work, but honestly I found it easier to install the Windows 2000 UNIX
printing utilities (included on the Win2K CD) and print to the Linux box as a
UNIX LPD printer instead of going through Samba.
