Do you have 
add printer command= <youraddprinterscript>
in smb.conf ?
my looks like:
--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Script zum anlegen eines Sambadruckers mit cups
#$1 = Ausführlicher Druckername
#$2 = Drucker/Queue/Share-Name
#$5 = Ort des Druckers
#
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p "$2" -D "$1" -L "$5"
echo "Samba Printer Port"
---------------------------------------------------------------
the generated printer has to be modified with the cups
web interface to confirm the right interface to the printer:
/dev/lp0 or something else.
