OOPS! You sent that to the documentation team, who
are mostly concerned with matters of sgml and XML...
I'm redirecting this to samba at lists.samba.org.

No, you need to debug the connection from
the Windows 200 to Samba.
Have a look at chapter 7 section 7.1.5 in
the copy of Using Samba that came with
your distribution (I hope!), or
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch07_01.html
Basically you need to create a dummy printer,
have the win2k machine send a job to it, and
see what it did by making the print command
report it's actions to you, as shown in the book.
We are interested in what happens: we haven't seen
that many printing problems yet with Windows 2000.
