Okay, I got the errors to stop by rebooting. Obviously something getting stuck in memory. If I try to send a print job, the errors start up again. Yes, windows will try to print and I don't get any error message on windows side.

Something is getting put in the samba spool directory and then  immediately deleted (the date on the directory changes when I send a print job), but nothing gets printed.

Here's the parts of the smb.conf:

Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
        lpq cache time = 30
        load printers = Yes
        printcap cache time = 750
        printcap name =
        cups server =
        iprint server =
        disable spoolss = No
        addprinter command =
        deleteprinter command =
        show add printer wizard = Yes
        os2 driver map =
        printer admin =
        min print space = 0
        max reported print jobs = 0
        max print jobs = 1000
        printable = No
        printing = cups
        cups options = raw
        print command =
        lpq command = %p
        lprm command =
        lppause command =
        lpresume command =
        printer name =
        use client driver = No
        force printername = No
[printers]
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
