samba - May 2006 - Windows clients cannot print in color

I have a Samba 3.0.22 server running as "security = ADS" on a Debian 
Sarge 3.1 system and operating as expected.  I recently added print 
server functions via CUPS 1.2.1.  The drivers appear to install properly 
on the clients.  Test pages print flawlessly from the CUPS server, but 
will only print grayscale from the Windows 2000/XP clients.  It is a 
universal phenomenon, applying to all 3 color laser printers.  PDF's are 
also a problem - either mangled or nothing at all.

Three days on Google hasn't been able to help me, maybe one of you can.
Thanks,

Hmmm... Be careful with the 1.2 series of CUPS. I've noticed problems with 
color printer ppds in this version. I've been using 1.1.23 with 
foomatic/postscript drivers (downloaded from linuxprinting.org) with no real 
problems. What kind of color laser printers do you have? At my job, we use 
HP 4550Ns. Also, make sure you're using the CUPS windows driver with your 
Windows clients. That may help a bit.
