When I add a printer in the MS box all goes well until I try to print from it..then I get 'Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup'. When I go to http://server:631 I get my cups front page (which is nice)
Thanks
Aaron

Okay completely ignore samba till you have a working Windows client.
You only need this to advertise the printer to Windows client,
which has it's own issues.
The whole point of IPP is to get away from rubbish like Microsoft
networking ;)

Looks unduely complex.
This post looks pretty much like what I did last time....

I think lose the BrowseAddress lines, and make sure you BrowseAllow
your network (or ALL) for starters.
Although I don't have a CUPS server around at the moment to check it on.
Then tell us what happens when you try and add a printer to
Windows, and if the windows box can surf to http://server:631/
