Try uncommenting the line:
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0
in /etc/cups/mime.convs and the line:
application/octet-stream
in /etc/cups/mime.types. Both are near the bottom of the respective
files.
You may also have to open the permissions on /var/spool/samba.
Then restart cupsd and smb.
