Hum... it's weird that a problem with the USB stack allows windows to
print from the VM client because it finally ends at the same point.
I would review CUPS logs, just in case (/var/log/cups/*) and also try
with Samsug's linux unified drivers:

If none helps, I would open a bug report. If it worked fine with kernel
2.6.39 (and same drivers) that can be something where to start looking at.
