My situation is nearly the same. I am using
xfce 4.4 Beta1 (4.3.90.2) and cups in Xubuntu 6.06 LTS.
With the cups web-interface (http://localhost:631) I succeed
in installiing and managing a local printer (HP Deskjet 690C).
But until now I did not succeed in configuring
a Samba printer by that.
xfcewiki.org says that samba prinrting is on
the wish list. I cannot really believe this.
