Samba (compiled with cups-support) is running, added smbuser root, downloaded cups-ps files and adobe-ps files to cups/drivers. The smb.conf comes from the cupsaddsmb-manpage. Now I called cupsaddsmb:

I cannot say anything regarding the cupsaddsmb stuff - we have switched over
to an inf file based printer installation on Windows boxes a couple of months ago.

But as for the bad character set: you need to configure your samba tu use UTF-8 as
the unix character set because starting with 1.3.x, CUPS only accepts IPP requests
which specify utf-8 as the character set.
