Getting the TCP Print Server that comes with WinXP to play nice is not a
problem.  Just set the following in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LPDSVC\Parameters]
	"SimulatePassThrough"=dword:00000001

And then windows will quit screwing with the print jobs and just pass them
on.  Since I found this solution, I have started printing straight to the
Win machines from Unix instead of using Samba to toss the print jobs.
