For that to work you need an "addprinter command" script.  Details are
in man smb.conf.  It's really easier just to add the printer in cups and
have samba pick it up, unless you start doing things like explicitly
using the location field to contain ip and port/queuename information
that your script can use when adding the printer.  Quite kludgey.
