OK, from the smb.conf manpage:

            To use the CUPS printing interface set printcap name = cups. 
This
            should be supplemented by an addtional setting printing = 
cups in
            the [global] section.  printcap name = cups will use the "dummy"
            printcap created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS 
configuration
            file.

There is more in there about printing.
