this used to be a problem for me when clients printed via samba to the 
printer connected to my linux server.  i was never able to correct it and 
eventually just gave up and bought a dlink print server (almost an ethernet 
to parallel pass thru kinda thing)  i scoured the suse docs, samba, man 
pages, etc and could never find anything that would correct this.
