Samba and CUPS almost there...

I am using a fresh install of Mandrake 7.2 (if that matters) with Samba
2.0.7 and Cups 1.1.4 and am trying to share my printer to a couple of 98
boxes.
The share shows up fine and I am able to setup the drivers for the
share, but when I try to print to this printer the print job is sent OK
(as far as Win98 is concerned) but it never seems to leave the
/var/spool/samba/ directory, i.e. it never prints. I know the job is
getting to the Mandrake machine OK because it shows up in the
/var/spool/samba dirctory, but from there nothing happens.
I can print a test page using the print test page option in the Mandrake
Configure utilities.
This is what my smb.conf file looks like (at least the printer specific
stuff):
[global]
workgroup = MATRIX
netbios name = WINTERMUTE
server string = Samba Server %v
interfaces = eth1
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = lpstat
dns proxy = No
printing = cups
print command = /usr/bin/lp -d%p -oraw %s; rm %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -o%p
lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j
queuepause command = /usr/bin/disable %p
queueresume command = /usr/bin/enable %p
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
writeable = Yes
browseable = No
[lp]
path = /tmp
printable = Yes
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
