[Samba] printer woes

greetings.
my problem is i can't print from windows 2000 or windows xp.
my solaris box can print fine.
on smoking (solaris 10, samba host)
smbclient '//smoking/hp2605' -U jgs%password put /etc/motd
i get the printout.
on windows, this works:
echo hiya^L > \\smoking\hp2605
on windows, from M$ word, the print SEEMS to go into the queue.
i click on the printer, get the box that supposedly shows me status,
and it says the file is getting spooled. but nothing emerges.
the printer never seems to get any bytes at all--but i can't prove it.
you can see from the log file (log.smbd) that it's complaining about
a printer handle.
i've included testparm, two diff smb.conf's, and two diff smbd logs.
i tried searching for the business about the printer handle not
being found but i didn't see any solutions--just questions.
somebody, somewhere, said that if you duplicated the printer
in cups and changed the name, that that would work around it.
i don't know exactly what that means.
ahh, yes--
ping works all around.
nslookup works all around.
the windows boxes can mount the samba directory shares.
can't think of anything else to tell you.
thx.
j.
