I don't see an rm=machine-name:rp=print-name: entry in your printcap.
This makes me think, that the printer is not shared on the host.
Also where are you printing from ? What OS ?
I know there is a bug in windows media center (at least on my laptop), that
I have not been able to fix.
If it is windows, these links may help, in the end they didn't help me
though.

Subject: lprng
Hi All,
has anybody got any experience with lprng and samba? I have lprng working
so I can print from the localhost and samba is working as I can attach
shares and all. but when I try to setup a printer in samba, I am having no
real progress. I am running LPRng-3.8.A and
samba-3.2.0-1 on Fedora core 9 machine. The printer is printing fine with
lp. here is the printcap entry:
lp1|printer \
|lp \
:force_localhost \
:server \
:cm=Canon I560 \
:lp=/dev/lp0 \
:ppd=/usr/local/lib/bj8pa06n.ppd \
:if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip \
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 \
:mx=0:sh:
when I send a print job via samba I get the following info from lpq
Printer: lp1@mustang (originally lp) 'Canon I560'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Status: job 'sean@mustang+837' saved at 10:53:24.612
Rank Owner/ID Pr/Class Job Files Size Time
error sean@mustang+837 A 837 ERROR: too many errors
any ideas?
thanks,
Sean
