you should'nt need this ...
the printers will automatically get loaded from the printcap
or cups api...

do you really want all these?
the homes share does it automatically...

your config file for cups is bad at line 729...

these lines look like your job has made it to cups and is failing in
there...

so you don't need to mess with your samba configuration.

if this doesn't work - take it to the cups lists...

one problem you may have is that the windows pcs are sending jobs that
are ready for printing with no ripping...
you could try setting up your printer in cups as a raw printer instead
of pcl5 or whatever you set it up as.

best wishes!
