There are too many variables.

Try first printing locally on the CUPS server.  If the job order is
preserved there, try printing via IPP from the Windows client - just
change the port associated with the Samba queue to:

     http://servername:631/printers/printername

If that works, then the problem is in Samba.  If not, the problem is
in Windows.

If the job order isn't preserved for locally-submitted jobs, we'll
need the exact configuration you are using on the CUPS server - OS,
version of CUPS, driver you are using, and the device URI for the
printer.
