Jason - in /etc/cups/mime.type - do you have the 
#application/msword		doc string(0,<D0CF11E0A1B11AE1>)
line uncommented? Some of my Samba print jobs will be from MSWord on a Samba 
client. Or is this if you are running MSWord on the Samba server itself? 
Thanks for the info - I'll test it out today.
