I had similar problems using HP Deskjet 970CXi.... I also tried to setup a printing server using Samba 2.2.7a and Cups 1.1.18. From linux clients I had no problems using the foomatic driver. In order to be able to access the printer from a W2K-client I added to smb.conf:
use client driver = yes ( that driver download thing, seamed to be kind of overkill for one Windows client....) I did that raw-printer setup thing under cups, and got the same result: something like "format-not-supported" appeared in the "log.smbd" Then I tried to setup the printing command by adding print command = lpr -P %p %s -oraw -s to the smb.conf. Still the same.... Then I read the manualpages of smb.conf there it is written, that using printcap = cups disables any manually set printing commands, so I set printing = BSD printcap file = /etc/samba/printcap in the smb.conf, while /etc/samba/printcap contains the manually edited line hp|HP DeskJet 970CXi via Samba finally the cups-system has now the printer queue hp using that foomatic driver (which is useful for all linux clients). The printing option is set to BSD, but still it prints to the hp-queue of cups, so it's finally working properly, but its not that straight forward, as the guys suggest in the documentation, I'd say.
