samba printing on NetBSD 1.4.1

Hi Folks,
I recently set up a samba server 2.0.5a on a NetBSD 1.4.1 box.
I have (I think) a very simple setup: one share and one printer. The share
configured below (tmp) works fine.
I can see the printer in the win95 Network Neighborhood, but when I try to
print a test page, I get "windows cannot find the printer" on the Win95 side,
and nothing on the samba side. With the smb.conf file below, I can see the
results of the lpq command being run (e.g. /var/tmp/print.imhere
is created), but when I try to print I don't see print.sav created.
When I have a more normal configuration, I can see lpq executed (with the
correct printer name etc) in the smbd log file, but I see no evidence of an
attempt to execute lpr.
As you can see I tried adding the printer driver stuff, but that didn't
have an impact. I've exausted the ideas I've come up with for debugging
this: can anyone suggest what next to explore? Any configuration details
I've overlooked?
Thanks for any help.
