I have an Epson conected to a Windows XP machine. A few months ago, I installed the gimp drivers and set up the printer, and it worked perfectly. I've been printing there ever since.
Recently it stopped working from all the Macs. However, I also upgraded all the Macs to 10.2.6

Has anybody had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Could it be 10.2.6 or something else?

what is the problem you are having? i send a job to the printer and it goes through but nothing happens.

i have never had this problem before, it used to work but now... nothing.

very annoying

I could never get my printers/Macs to work with Samba. Since you're using XP, have you tried IP printing? Much easier, search for it on macosxhints.com and you'll find an article about it.
