I put it in the [Printers] section. Here is that section in my smb.conf
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root xxxx xxxx xxxx
default devmode = yes

I had the 2.2.5 source rpm and applied the patches to it. You have to
apply the patches to the source and rebuild the binary rpm. I don't
know how familiar you are with RPMs but I've found the following
document very helpful and it discusses how to use patches (under
macros).

You also might want to check and see if these patches have been included
in the src rpm on the samba site.
