I had the same problems. Everytime I printed something from a Winblows
machine, samba would crash. Instead I installed TCP/IP Printing on my
Winblows client and then configured my Linux box to allow remote lpd by
adding the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
... and then did a killall -1 inetd to reload the config file.
