[Samba] Print Problem - printcap file cups

When I compiled 2.2.8a cups support was not compiled in even though I
specifically specified it and there were no errors. If you type 'ldd
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd' you can see what libraries are linked against it
and cups should be there.
Make sure you have the cups-devel RPM package installed otherwise cups
support wont get built in.
