Samba printing problem

I have installed Samba and just about to get my printer to work with it.
I have already get the command "lpr -r -Php_6mp <filename>" to work and
I can see the print jobs are queueing up in /var/spool/samba directory.
I can even print out any job found in this directory manually (by "lpr
-r -Php_6mp <filename>") and the printing works without fail. However,
the configuration just refused to work directly from my Windows 98
client. I was trying to print to the Samba print server (I can see my
printer name, hp_6mp from the network neighbourhood) and nothing comes
out. I found that the job had already resided onto the print server but
the Samba had failed to communicate with the lpd. Does anyone know what
I have done wrongly? Any response from you is highly appreciated.
I am using Redhat 6.2 and Samba 2.0.7.
