This is what I use, YMMV

        printing = cups
        printcap = cups
        show add printer wizard = yes
        printer admin = @"Domain Administrators"
        use client driver = no

again, this is what I use, YMMV

[printers]
        comment = Network Printers
        printer admin = @"Print Operators"
        path = /home/filesystems/printing/spool/
        guest ok = yes
        printable = yes
        writable = no
        read only  = Yes

[print$]
        path = /home/filesystems/printing/printers
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = Yes
        read only = Yes
        printer admin = root Administrator
        write list = root
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
