I only mentioned it as it's usually something simple (done it myself).;-)
From my printcap:
lp|local line printer:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I also have the following options in smb.conf:
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = bsd
# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writeable = no
printable = yes
