I finally found the answer I was looking for at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145210 which referenced
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter. Turning off "enable
bidirectional support" on the Windows box fixed my problem.

My apologies if this shows up twice. I sent it out and I didn't see
it so I am sending it again.
I have an HP OfficeJet 5610 connected to Windows XP machine on the
local network. I am trying to have my Ubuntu machines print to it. I
was able to add the printer as a Samba printer but the drivers listed
did not have the 5610. I tried installing it using the OfficeJet 5600
driver. The Ubuntu machine indicates that the document printed
successfully. I see it on the print queue and it starts communicating
with the printer (I hear the printer making noise like it is going to
print). However, it never gets past that stage. The display on the
printer says that it is printing but nothing comes out.
I haven't been able to find a driver for the 5610. I have hplip and
hplip-ppds installed but I don't know if this is used by the Samba
print drivers or not.
Any pointers as to were to look would be appreciated.
Thanks,
