W98 -> Samba/Linux LPD -> Axis printserver

Win98 print jobs are getting "stuck" on the samba server.
I have set up the auto print/install thing in Samba for the 98 boxes,
and it works.
I have the path for the printer in smb.conf defined as /var/spool/samba.
It has printable=yes, writeable=no set. /var/spool/samba is RWXRWXRWXT.
Clients can print to \\linux\copier, but I'll get files named like:
PrinterTestPage, sitting in the spool directory. Using "lpr -Pcopier
<file>"
they print out, and indeed are Win98 test pages.
The printer is set in /etc/printcap to use that same dir for spool as
well,
and my print command is "lpr -r -P%p %s". Although the Samba in 24 hour
books claims that %s is both the whole path+ file name , AND just the
file name of the print file.
So what obvious, stupid thing am I missing? Thanks!
Ed
