I did tell cupsd that everyone is authorized to print. I opened it up to all computers on the network. It didn't matter who sent the job, if I used raw queues, it would not go through.

Also I am using it as a "proxy", I have been doing this for years. It works on lenny, it does not work on squeeze. I have done this on previous releases of debian, redhat, and gentoo with no problems. It is only an issue on squeeze.

It has been 4 months. Raw printing is integral to print serving for

I took a look at the bug.  The biggest problem, it appears, is here:

D [27/Apr/2011:15:12:56 -0400] Returning HTTP Unauthorized for
Print-Job (http://10.99.99.126:631/printers/CUPS-Test) from 10.99.99.199

So you need to tell cupsd that the Windows system is authorized to print. That's done in cupsd.conf; see the man page for the details.

Out of curiosity, it's been quite a while since I've had to mess with Windows, but the recommendation back then was to use Samba as a proxy between Windows and CUPS for printing. Is there a reason why this doesn't work for you? It might make life a bit easier.
