im experiencing the same problem, i can not use a printer share on linux at all, i already tried:

 WinXP (shared printer) to Suse 10.2 (client)
 WinXP (shared printer) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client)
 Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client)

neither worked. I always get the:
Ready: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed
or
Paused: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed
error!

i have done all the lates updates!

YET !!!!!!:::

 Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to WinXP client works perfect!
I just had to choose the right driver. no authentication needed at all. I could start printing immediately.
