I don't use Opera, but I'd guess that Opera sends its output to lp or
lpr. Piping to either of these two commands is a pretty standard way of
printing. I think you need to install the cupsys-client and cupsys-bsd
packages to get printing capabilities with lp and lpr.
When I first set up CUPS, I couldn't print from some applications since
they were calling lpr. After installing cupsys-bsd I was able to print
from these applications.

Assuming you are printing from the Windows machine to the Samba machine,
this could be a problem with the Samba setup. Do you have any Samba
shares that you access from this windows 2000 machine? Do they work
properly?
