This was just the thing I needed! :-) Now EVERYTHING works perfectly with 
CUPS accounting, from both WinXP and Wind98 (and Linux offcourse ;). I 
thought that some minor change to the PPD like this would be the solution. 
I just didn't know what. Thank you very much for your effort.

I think SAMBA is configured properly, there wasn't any problem with that 
(I did it all by hand, no wizards or whatever. Same with CUPS btw. ;) So 
as everything works now, there's no need to send samba configuration, 
unless you really want to see it? ;)

Anyway, thanks again,
Martin Drab.
