Samba 3.0.14a-3 and Cupsys 1.1.23-10 work fine on our sarge servers
serving Windows (XP, 2000 and 98), Mac and Linux clients. I don't
believe you will gain much from using the etch versions unless there is
specific functionality you're after that isn't available in sarge.
I haven't yet cracked centralised authentication and so the setups we
have are simpler in many respects. Nonetheless it is worth referring to
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html
if you haven't already.

At the risk of asking a dumb question, have you set up the windows
driver sharing within smb.conf?
Also can you print from windows printer setting it up with a driver
sourced from somewhere other than the server?
