Also if your printers are in a different VLAN check your firewall rules and or router ACLs to make sure the CUPs/Samba server can talk about to the clients correctly. When you do a packet capture you will see what I am talking about.

On the printer server, we are running samba 3.0.1, and on the WINS

Recently, some of our computers were upgraded to XP SP2. After the
upgrade, accessing the samba shared printers from the XP machines was
incredibly slow. It would take tens of seconds to even bring up the
printer status window, and printing from acrobat could take several
minutes.


You'll have to upgrade the 3.0.1 box - MS introduced a bug in XP SP2 for printing which samba fixed in the later versions (> 3.0.5 I believe).

Look at the release notes for the latest samba version and search for "SP2" and you'll see the problem.
