[Samba] Samba printing and CUPS

Well, I have a strange one again.  Using samba version 2.2.5 and cups
version 1.1.15.   We have 2 printers over the network, both TCP/IP-based
Jetdirect printers.  on is on x.x.x.32, the other on x.x.x.38.  I can print
to the laserjet on IP 32 all day long.  However, both on Windows clients,
print jobs are not even seen in the que (either windows print que or CUPS
web interface).  When I try to send a print job from the CUPS server to the
ip 38, it actually sent the job to the printer on IP 32.   I can, if
necessary, setup a new printer going directly to that IP address, but I'd
like some control over the que.

I just sent a job to the .38, and here's the first part of the error_log:

StartJob: argv =
"paper1","63","root","test1.txt","1","prettyprint","/var/spool/cups/d00063-0
01"
D [18/Nov/2002:10:54:22 -0600] StartJob: envp =
"PATH=/usr/lib/cups/filter:/bin:/usr/bin","SOFTWARE=CUPS/1.1","USER=root","C
HARSET=iso-8859-1","LANG=en_US","TZ=GMT","PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/paper1.ppd","CUP
S_SERVERROOT=/etc/cups","RIP_MAX_CACHE=8m","TMPDIR=/var/spool/cups/tmp","CON
TENT_TYPE=text/plain","DEVICE_URI=socket://10.1.1.32:9100/","PRINTER=paper1"
,"CUPS_DATADIR=/usr/share/cups","CUPS_FONTPATH=/usr/share/cups/fonts","","",
""

Does anyone have any idea what I've done wrong?  Why is it sending to the
.32 address?
