[Samba] No Printer Port

Hi,

I am having problems adding printers to Windows.
The printers are setup on a Samba 3.0.2a server running on Solaris 9 and
using CUPS.
When I add the printer to Windows it seems to install OK but no printer port
is added.
The "Comment" and "Location" fields in the Windows printers box are also
empty as though it isn't talking to
the Samba server.
When I look at the Ports page of the printer properties, I can see all the
usual LPT and COM ports ( although none 
are ticked ), but the Add Port, Delete Port and Configure Port are greyed
out.

This did not used to be the case. We have been working fine since we moved
onto our
new Sun V250 about a year ago. We have added printers since then and they
worked OK.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help
