I'm not answering your question directly, because to do so,
I'd need to see your CUPS configuration.

That aside, have you considered setting up your Windows
Server with a LPD or an IPP queue for the printer?

If you can, avoid SMB printing -- for countless reasons.
God knows I do so even for Windows clients.
Microsoft's own NT reliability studies show the NT spooler is
the reason why NT crashes/hangs 8% of the time.
