I guess some more details would be helpful:

I am using a raw printer: here is the samba.conf lines that are important:

cups options = raw
printing = cups
local master = Yes
printcap name = cups
security = share
printer = Cannon560
load printers = yes

[Cannon560]
        public = yes
        writable = no
        printable = yes
        path = /var/spool/samba
        use client driver = Yes

I am using the Canon i560 driver on the Windows boxes
