Samba Printing problem

Hi, My name is Takewa. I am having some problem with my Samba printer.
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.
-> this is my /etc/smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = xxxxxxxx
server string = xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = bsd
[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
;my print command is correct, as "lpr -r -Php_6mp %s"
-> this is my /etc/printcap file
lp_6mp|raw|lp|lp1:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/samba:\
:mx#0:\
:rw:sh:\
:fx=flp:\
:rp=raw1:\
:rm=192.168.10.50:
I will provide any information you need to analyse my problem. Your response is appreciated.
