This is exactly the problem I've had. (Using Samba 3.0.x and Cups).
someone else suggested making the particular printer in use here set up
as a RAW print queue in CUPS. Requires editing two cups config files and
connecting to the web UI for cups and changing the printer queue type to
raw. Details can be found in the samba documentation on printing with cups.
I did this and one of my W98 systems can now print to it, though so far
the other one doesn't--perhaps I've not got it set up right, haven't spent
much time on that second one.
