A simple work around seems to duplicate the printer in cups and just 
change the name.  Then have the windows clients that are having the 
problem use the new samba unc for the port.  I have upgraded two sites 
from 2.x to 3.x and both have been having this problem.  I see that some 
work has been done in the next version of Samba with printing, but I am 
not sure if it addresses the problem we have been having.  Another 
strange thing about this problem is that it only seems to occur with 
window client printing (Word, Wordpad, etc.) but using the "copy /b 
//printerserver/printer" command works.
