Try adding these lines to your [global] section:

        printing = BSD
        printcap name = /etc/printcap

I chased this problem for a while after upgrading from RedHat 5.2 to 6.0 and
rebuilding samba from the source. While I originally approached it the
problem by investigating the source, several others on the net reminded me
that it can be addressed from the samba configuration file (too easy :-).

The samba configure script now decides that you have a System V system
(#define SYSV) and thus assumes SYSV printing (lp, lpstat vs lpr, lpq).
Since there is no lpstat command under Linux as packaged, the print fails.

The culprit is in source/include/includes.h:

/* this guess needs to be improved (tridge) */
#if (defined(STAT_STATVFS) || defined(STAT_STATVFS64)) && !defined(SYSV)
#define SYSV 1
#endif

It looks like "tridge" figured that this would come back to haunt him. My
guess is that the introduction of STAT_STATVFS64 caused this change in
default behavior. Defining SYSV establishes the lpstat command as the
default mechanism for determining the defined print queues. You can override
the default with the above changes to your /etc/smb.conf file.
