If your samba is linked with the CUPS libraries it doesn't obey the "print
command" definition.

So i think you have to use:
=================================
 [global]
         ...
         printing = cups
         ...
 [pdfprinter]
	 printing = bsd
         comment = PDF Drucker, druckt nach H:\print
         print command = /usr/bin/tps2file.sh "%s" "%U" "pdf" "pdfwrite" ""
         path = /tmp
         printable = yes
         valid users = @users
=================================

(Not sure if it works to redefine the "printing" inside a subsection)
