All works well now.

*Windows clients cannot print in color.

I have a Samba 3.0.22 server running as "security = ADS" on a Debian 
Sarge 3.1 system and operating as expected.  I recently added print 
server functions via CUPS 1.2.1.  The drivers appear to install properly 
on the clients.  Test pages print flawlessly from the CUPS server, but 
will only print grayscale from the Windows 2000/XP clients.  It is a 
universal phenomenon, applying to all 3 color laser printers.  PDF's are 
also a problem - either mangled or nothing at all.
