Perhaps it helps to have a look at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_from_Windows_to_Linux

For debugging, inspect the Samba logs and the CUPS log
files (usually /var/log/cups/error_log).

When the printer is directly accessible via network,
I wonder why you need to print from Windows clients
indirectly via Samba and the CUPS server and not print
directly from Windows clients to the printer?
