[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

recheck your settings in smb.conf 
This is a working setup with cups for example. 

## PRINTING Section 1 !! Global Settings !!
## printing temporary disabled
        load printers = Yes
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        show add printer wizard = Yes
        disable spoolss = No
        max print jobs = 100
        lpq cache time = 20
        use client driver = No
        max reported print jobs = 1000

# PRINTING Section 2 !!
# users are able to connect to any printer specified in the Samba host's
# printcap file  ( /etc/printcap ) provided through cups
[printers]
        comment = All Network Printers
        printable = yes
        path = /home/samba/spool
        browseable = No
        guest ok = yes
        public = yes
        read only = yes
        writable = no
        create mode = 0777
        lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P '%p'
        lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P '%p' %j
        lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold '%p' %j
        lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release '%p' %j
        queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc start '%p'
        queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc stop '%p'


### Printing Section 3 "The Windows Printer drivers"
# Required permissions

# a UID of 0 (i.e., a root account). ( or Administrator )
# The account used to connect to the Samba host must be

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers Download Area
        path = /home/samba/printers
        browseable = no
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes
        write list = @"Print Operators",@"Domain Admins",Administrator,root
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
        valid users = @"Domain Users",@"Print Operators",@"Domain Admins",Administrator,root
