What does samba log say?

FWIW, here are parts of smb.conf on our samba-2.2.1a PDC.
Printing works fine with these, including "Add printer"
wizard on w2k. Note however, that it's from a Solaris box, 
not Debian -- Y paths etc. MV.

  printer admin = @sysadmin,root
  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

    comment = HP Colour LaserJet 4500DN
    path = /var/spool/samba
    browseable = yes
    public = yes
    guest ok = yes
    writable = no
    printable = yes

RTFM on [print$] share.
