Thanks Jason. I made the changes to my /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/
mime.conf - and uncommented the msword line as well. I only made one print 
queue, but it worked from both my Desktop (SuSE 9.0 running Samba server) and 
from a WinXP laptop running windows network client. Don't know why the one 
queue worked, but I do know that the changes you recommended got printing 
from my Win client working. Thanks!
