Odd error status with a Minolta copier/printer

I have a Minolta magicolor 3100 that works just fine with Windows 98. I 
have installed a Samba server and I want to use CUPS to print to it with 
Windows XP.

I was able to

     echo 'this is a test' | lpr -P impmtp03

.... from the server command line and it was printed out correctly. I am 
having less luck in printing with Samba/CUPS. The definition of the 
printer is as follows:

<Printer impmtp03>
Info Minolta Magicolor 3100
Location Montpellier
DeviceURI lpd://impmtp03
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

According to nmap, the only useful port appears to 515. No 631 or 9100. 
When I print a test page from the CUPS web admin page the following is 
logged.

And there the printer goes into stopped mode in CUPS. Does anyone have 
any experience with these types of printers? I don't see what the 
difference is between the commandline and the cups backend and I assume 
the DeviceURI is incorrect. I tried:

     DeviceURI lpd://impmtp03

but at this stage I'm just guessing.

Thanks,
David
