Printer shares will not work - 2.0.7

[Fouquet, Errol]

Looks like you're missing your print command entries in smb.conf (see
example):
    [printers]
        path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
        print ok = yes
        printing = lprng
        load printers = yes
        guest ok = no
        printcap file = /etc/printcap
	  print command =      /usr/bin/lpr  -P%p -r %s
        lpq command   =      /usr/bin/lpq  -P%p
        lprm command  =      /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
        lppause command =    /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
        lpresume command =   /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j
        queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc  -P%p stop
        queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start

Applying the 1777 rights to the 'path = /usr/spool/samba/p1' directory 
caused the "Network name cannot be found." error message to go away, but I 
can't get the printer to pick up the jobs sent to this queue. Any ideas? 
Thanks. Below is a copy of the smb.conf file
