Oops... I just had this problem printing to my Linux-attached printer from Win-XP...
Turns out /var/spool/samba has nothing to do with it. The fix was to add "use client driver = yes" to the "[printers]" section of smb.conf and restart Samba. A search of Google found this for me. It has something to do with being an Administrator (or Local Administrator) on the Windows machine. Hope this is more helpful!
