[Samba] Jobs hanging printer after printing

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me out here. I have an apple laserwriter
(postscript) printer attached to the network via ethertalk. I have the
printer set up in cups, using the pap backend found here
(http://users.phg-online.de/tk/CUPS/backend/pap). I then set the printer up
through samba so that windows (XP) users can print to it. However if I
print a test page from windows, the job prints but then hangs the printer.
The printer status is listed as 'idle' but no-one can print to it. If I
look at the printer status in the cups web interface the job which just
printed is listed as processing still. It doesn't clear until I power cycle
the printer. However if I send test prints directly from the linux server,
via the cups web interface, I can send multiple jobs and they print & clear
properly without hanging the printer - hence me believing that the problem
lies either with a samba setting, or with a setting in the windows printer
driver. The linux server is yellow dog 3.
Any offers? Here's my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
