Here is a smb.conf file for a standalone printer server with cups 
on FreeBSD:
 	.........................................................
# Global parameters
[global]
 	netbios name = SMALL
 	security = SHARE
 	passdb backend = guest
 	ldap ssl = no
 	hosts allow = 192.168.10.

[hpdj]
 	path = /var/spool/samba
 	guest ok = Yes
 	printable = Yes
 	use client driver = Yes
 	........................................................

/var/spool/samba is set to
drwxrwxrwt  2 root   wheel    512 19 Jun 11:47 samba
(You do this with
# mkdir samba
# chmod 1777 samba
)

And: enable

application/octet-stream	in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types

and

application/octet-stream	application/vnd.cups-raw   0   -
in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.convs

Hope this helps,

Uli.
