No print to Samba (Linux) printer from Win98

I'm stuck.
I have Samba running on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux box. I can mount by remote dirctory
on the Linux box via Samba. But I can't print to the Linux printer. I have a
Linux printer installed and I can print to it using lpr. I have a printer
configured in Samba and can see that from the Win98SE box. I've clicked on the
Samba printer name and configured a Win98 printer.
However, when I try to print (or test) the Win98 spooler runs, then goes away,
but nothing happens on the Linux printer. The Samba printer spool points to
/var/spool/samba. Should it point to the lpr spool directory? How does samba
link the incoming spool data from Win98 to lpr?
