I cannot print. So, I am diagnosing my samba server with the list of tests
proposed by Andrew Tridgell and detailed in the documentation of samba on
my Debian/Linux computer (file /usr/doc/samba/DIAGNOSIS.txt.gz). In this
documentation, Test 7 recommends to run the command

 smbclient //BIGSERVER/TMP 

and says : 

 <<Once connected (smb: \>), you should especially check that the amount 
of
 free disk space shown is correct when you type "dir">>.

That is what I do.

Yes, but this make sense in disk share, as opposed to printer. I would
suggest to replace lpr/lpq/lprm params in smb.conf with commands
like this:
        echo "Attempt to use lpr command to do a new print job"

        or
        echo "Attempt to use lpr command to do a new print job" >> logfile

and then watch your console/logfile. If printing at smb-level works you'll
notice some messages.
