I changed the printers name to printer.. Its the same for all our
printers 
(we have about 30 of them). here is a sample 

#/usr/server/LPRng-3.8.21/bin/lpq -Plwdup
Printer: lwdup-dup at lisa 'lwdup' (dest lwdup_real at lisa.sm.luth.se)
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue

Here is some more logfile from samba direclty after the print out is
finished
[...]
[2003/10/13 09:08:10, 3] printing/printing.c:print_cache_expired(1723)
  print cache expired for queue lwdup (last_qscan_time = 1066028859,
time now = 1066028890, qcachetime = 10)

[2003/10/13 09:08:10, 3] printing/printing.c:print_queue_update(1013)
  3 jobs in queue for lwdup

>From windows (2003 terminal server) i can see one job in the printer and
faxes tab.
() lwdup on sm_lisa	1	Ready		HP LaserJet 4000 Series PS

And in the printer queue for the printer is empty. 

I have only seen jobs in windows printer queue very shortly after the
jobs has been printed from windows
and never if the job is printed from the unix system.

Thanks for taking time!
