Printing problems

Hi,
I installed Samba 2.0.3 on my Irix6.2 machine and now have a PC mount my
Irix files successfully.
Now, I am trying to print from the PC to the printer connected to the
UNIX network. I have "lp" setup on my Irix network such that it logs to
/var/spool/lp.
I edited the smb.conf file to have proper "print command". Now when I
try to "add printer" from my PC (Win 98), it is recognizing \\server\lp
but when it tries to print a test page, it says "unknown system error".
Now, I try to use smbclient to do the print. I logon. Then when I do
"print file", the contents of the file are gone (becomes 0 bytes). I
have tied changing lot of things in my smb.conf file, but no success.
Here is my testparm result:
