[Samba] Printing with CUPS and PDF

Trying to get one Samba server to serve several printers through CUPS
and host a virtual PDF "printer" at the same time. I've gotten them
working separately, but not together, and I think I know why.
In the smb.conf man page under "print command":
"With printing = cups, and if SAMBA is compiled against libcups, any
manually set print command will be ignored."
My PDF printer relies on a print command field (print command =
/usr/bin/printpdf %s) as recommended in the PDF printer howto here:

So is it possible to use CUPS and a "print command" in the same Samba
server? Why are print commands ignored anyway? Thanks in advance for any
responses.
