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?
