[Samba] Print server on all linux network

Second update:

On the advice of someone else on this mailing list, I converted from BSD 
printing to CUPS (still using samba).  Doing so has given me what is perhaps 
a more identifiable error message.  When I send a job to the server, I check 
the que and get the following response:

thedude at floyd:~> lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: lp
device for lp: samba://192.168.1.101/lp
lp accepting requests
printer lp disabled -
        reason unknown
lp-1                    thedude         164864   Sun Oct  6 19:07:36 2002

So it seems that the printer is disabled for some reason.  The job just stays 
there in the que and never prints.
