[Samba] 2nd try, cant print over samba

[Martin Zielinski]

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
