Have you checked, with tcpdump or looking at your samba logs, that the transfer rate is really slow, not that there is a delay due to the windows clients holding the jobs before they send them?
Does this happen will all printer queues? Could this be a specific printer driver problem? And, the delay is getting the jobs spooled on your samba server, not getting them accepted on your print server?
