Examine the cups and samba logs.  I had the same problem, the final part of 
the solution was that something needed setting up to accept raw type data 
from the Windows machine.  

Here is my working /etc/smb.conf fragment for the printer

[E740]
	comment = Linux Epson 740
	path = /var/spool/lp
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes
	printable = Yes
	printing = cups
	print command = cupsdoprint -P'%p' -oraw %s
	lpq command = lpq.cups -P'%p'
	lprm command = lprm.cups -P'%p' %j
	printer name = E740
	use client driver = Yes

Permissions on the spool path at the server

drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         4096 Dec  8 13:17 /var/spool/lp

I also added user nobody to the lp group.

I hope this partial set of hints is some kind of help!
