Glenn,

You might consider changing your printing architecture so that instead of 
using the Windows print driver for the HP Deskjet, you create the printer in 
Linux using the standard CUPS procedures for that printer and then share the 
standard Postscript driver on the samba share.  In this configuration, you 
avoid any problems with the HP Deskjet driver for windows.  My experience is 
that the HPIJS driver bundled with most versions of Linux is quite good.

A pretty good description of how to make this configuration work can be found 
at: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsysm/article.php/3621876

Regards,

Mark Gannon
