[Samba] What am I missing here?!

[Joel Hammer]

Try making things simple, not complicated.
Why do you have a printers share and a laserjet share?
Do you even know what the printer share really does? 
Get rid of it if you only have the one printer.

Since you don't give a single clue as to what is happening, it is hard
to offer any advice.

You don't have a path for the laserjet printer.

Is the job even getting transferred to your server?
A trick you can try:
Change your print command to something like:
echo Tried to print %s > /tmp/junk
Then, look at the print queue (the path parameter) and see if the file was
transferred to your linux server.
