As I understand.
1. SAP is running on windows 2003 server.
2. you want to use a Linux server as printserver.
3. your spoolprocessor is running on top of your windows 2003 server (a spoolproccess inside of SAP)

so you have to do the following steps.
1. on your cups printserver
   - create your printqueues (example -> cupstest) and they are tested and
     running well
2. activate the mini-lpd via xinetd. that means take care xinetd is running and
   the mini-lpd is active (disable     = no at  /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd )
3. now create a printer in SPAD
   lets say printername     is cupstest
            shortname       is ctst
            devicetyp       is post2
            hostaccesmethod is U
            host-printer    is cupstest <- queuename on the cups-server
            destinationhost is <name or IP of your cups-server)
4. now do some testprint outs -> what is happening?
