Have you already read

You are really using Samba 2.0.6? Mandrake 7.2 comes with 2.0.7.
Can you tell me how your printer is connected and which driver you have
used? Which default options do you use? Especially there can be bugs in
some of the printing qualities.
If your printer is connected via USB, have you already tried the
parallel port?
Have you already updated to the latest program versions? See
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/mysearch.php3?author=till
Can you send me your
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
/etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd
/etc/smb.conf
