[Samba] Can't print to win client

[Joel Hammer]

Just some general observations.
smbprint is merely a shell script which sets up an smbclient command to 
do your printing for you.
I would try to print directly from the command line with smbclient. 
If that works, dissect the script and see what is wrong.
How are you filtering your print jobs?
