I think windows client print in RAW mode.
You install the correct printer driver on the Windows client, and CUPS 
will pass it throught to the printer directly, unchanged.
Here, the correct printer driver is the same printer driver one would 
use if the printer was directly connected via a printer port on the 9x 
client.
If it fails to print propery, it is a bug in the 9x printer driver 
software, and not samba/cups.
