Strange behaviour related to NIS

Update.

Sorry. This is a bit misleading.  What I've been able to find out is that 
Samba does recieve the job correctly, and puts it in the proper spool (path = 
/var/spool/samba).  However, once there, it is no longer processed.  

I thought perhaps it was permissions but that front looks good.  I also tried 
specifying a "print command" in the conf.  To no avail.  The strangest thing 
about all this is how this could be related to NIS.

Help?
