Thank you for the response, and the link to my own post when I was 
trying to solve this same problem.  I can't imagine how the working 
configuration I had then got changed.  I see that I was at CentOS 6.2 
then.  Perhaps one of the upgrades from 6.2 to 6.3, and then 6.4, over 
wrote the file.  I've got a good file now and a good backup of it.

The problem was solved by the addition of:

use client driver = yes

to the [printers] section of the smb.conf file and a service smb restart.
