I remember that there was a bug in the printing part when using XP SP2 clients. This has been fixed in 2.2.11.
First, you could use a more recent release of samba (wether 2.2.x or 3.0.x).
In all samba-printing-problem-cases I've seen, *nothing* came out of the printer. So you could increase the loglevel of your cups-daemon and see, if there are any errors logged. Perhaps you have a problem with your cupsd (enable raw printing in /etc/mime.confs or something like that...)

bye,
Martin

do I not have enough info for someont to take a crack at this?

hey folks. got cups set up and working on a freebsd 4.11 box running samba 2.2.10. I can print locally from the freebsd box just fine.. when I try to print from remote windows boxes on the network, I only get blank pages (may be empty banner or form feeds). but I jacked up the logging and the only "error" i see in there is

I have the following in my smb.conf

[global]
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.

and
[designjet]
        comment = DesignJet 450C
        path = /var/spool/samba
        writeable = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        printer = designjet


any ideas what else to look at?
