cant see cups print queues via samba

It is possible to see the print queue and via NT4's printer window.
Correct? And remove the jobs too, right? But not for me.

cups-1.0.5, samba-2.07 on linux-2.2.14

queues show ok using lpq
printing from nt works ok using samba.
in smb.conf I have:

printing = cups
print command = lpr -P%p -s %s;  rm %s
lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P %p
lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P %p %j

The samba log for the nt client machine shows:

[2000/05/11 15:17:58, 3] smbd/ipc.c:api_DosPrintQGetInfo(823)
  PrintQueue uLevel=3 name=csulw

[2000/05/11 15:17:58, 5] lib/util.c:show_msg(430)

I have disabled the printer so the job just stay's in the queue, but
the queue appears empty from NT. I have tried a lpq command using a
pipe thru tee so I can see what's going on and it appears correct

Rank    Pri   Owner      Job    Files              Total Size
1st      50   bevanb     1      unavail.ps         2048 bytes

The NT (NT4 sp6) machine is running under vmware on the same machine as the
cups/samba server. 

Help!
