one printer doesn't print under samba

[Kourosh Ghassemieh]

I have a problem I hope someone can help with.

I have TLS 6.0 set up to provide print services to Win98 clients using 
samba.  There are two printers, an HP LaserJet 4050 and an HP DeskJet 950C, 
both attached to separate JetDirect 170 print servers.  The HP4050 works 
wonderfully, no problems at all.  The 950C doesn't work.  The printer is 
available when browsing and can be installed on the clients without 
problem.  When a print job is sent the job is accepted by samba and placed 
into the print queue defined by samba (in this case /var/spool/samba, which 
is the default set during installation) and I can see the job in the queue 
when I list the directory. I know that the printer is set up correctly on 
the server because I can send print jobs to the printer manually from the 
server using the lpr command.  The problem seems to be that samba does not 
seem to pass the print job to lpr.  I have set up the 950C the same way I 
set up the 4050 and the 4050 works while the 950 doesn't.  I can manually 
send the print jobs from the samba print queue to the printer by using the 
lpr command from the command line of the server.

I don't know why one printer works properly but the other doesn't.  Any 
suggestions?  I have included my smb.conf and printcap files below for 
reference.  I have made no changes to lpr.perm and lpr.conf since 
installation and I have not used the Turboprintcfg utililty because it 
doesn't work properly for me.

I've tried troubleshooting in various ways, including running checkpc for 
lprng, testparm, testprn(sp?), logging on/off and nothing.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
