FWIW, here's relevant parts of smb.conf from our Solaris
swerver. Note that it's Solaris, not Debian Linux. Also,
they're are networked (ipp) printers.

   printing = cups
   load printers = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/lp -c -d %p %s && /usr/bin/rm %s
   lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -p %p
   printcap name = lpstat
[print$]
   path = /usr/local/samba/printers
   guest ok = yes
   browseable = yes
   readonly = yes
   write list = @sysadmin,root
[gutenberg]
   comment = HP LaserJet 4000 T
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes
[rembrandt]
   comment = HP Colour LaserJet 4500DN
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes

HTH. Oh, and read about print$ share in samba docs: this is the
trick that allows windows clients to download drivers from 
/usr/local/samba/printers/<W32X86|WIN40>.
