I had tried the first item you suggested before reverting back to normal lpr, I do recall. I also seem to remember that in some of Samba's documentation, the lprng option was mentioned, while in other areas where the options for printing were listed, lprng was not mentioned.
I do not recall if I tried the second thing, but lpq, lprm, and lpr all worked fine from the local box, and lpr worked from Win95. If somebody could print, I would think that they would also have permission to view the queue.
