did you print from linux allready? did you check your cupds log?
your definition of the printer is ugly

look at this example
[print$]
         comment = printer driver area
         path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
         browsable = yes
         read only = yes
         guest ok = yes
         write list = @"Domain Admins"

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/spool/samba
         guest ok = Yes
         printable = Yes
         browseable = no
         read only = No

[pdfwriter]
         comment = PDF File Generator
         path = /var/spool/samba
         printable = yes
         guest ok = Yes
         browseable = yes
         default devmode = Yes
         read only = No
         printer admin = rruegner
