We have a samba 2.2.3a-12.3 for Debian running, and something odd in 
printing.

We use CUPs as linux print server. When we print from a w2k station, 
prints come out the printer, but the printer window reports a cycle of 
messages:

- initializing printer
- opening printer
- failed to open, retrying

what  can be the cause?

parts of the smb.conf:
==============
[global]
                 printcap name = lpstat
                disable spoolss = No

        show add printer wizard = No
        printing = cups
        print command = lp -d %p -o raw %s
        lprm command = cancel %p-%j

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /tmp
        create mask = 0700
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[copier_E0]
        comment = Xerox copier E0
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        print command = lp -d '%p' -o raw %s
        lpq command = lpstat -a %p
        lprm command = cancel '%p'-%j
        printer name = lpe0xerox
        use client driver = Yes
        oplocks = No
