Here is how I set up my Epson Stylus Color 980 on a Red Hat 7.3 box with 
Samba 2.2.4

I hope this helps people. Special thanks to Joel Hammer.

1.      Enter printconf-tui
1.2.    Edit the printer
         3.      Edit the driver setting and select the following options
         3.1 Prerender Postscript
         3.2 Convert text to postscript
                 3.3 Ghostscript resolution 360X360
4.      Also set your spool directory in SAMBA to /tmp

Here is my /etc/printcap


EpsonColor980:\
         :ml=0:\
         :mx=0:\
         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/EpsonColor980:\
         :af=/var/spool/lpd/EpsonColor980/EpsonColor980.acct:\
         :sh:\
         :lp=/dev/lp0:\
         :lpd_bounce=true:\
         :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Here is my smb.conf
