First of all, did you use the samba port for freebsd?

I've used printing with freebsd's lpd daemon for years, so it does 
work.

Here is the section from my smb.conf for my printer

[nec]
        comment = Nec Printer
        path = /stripe1/spool/samba
        read only = No
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        min print space = 1024
        printable = Yes
        use client driver = Yes


here's my relevant section of my printcap

lp|nec|local line printer:\
      :sh:rm=neca07cc8:sd=/stripe1/spool/output:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:


-------------

Can you print to your printer via lpr(see if same is the problem or 
your printcap).  Could you please provide your printcap and relevant 
sections of smb.conf?
