Or, if Samba is (somehow) configured to use PDQ, rather than a spool directory, what does that setup look like?

From your response, it appears I was unclear. You wrote:
Yes, that part was clear from the package description. But how to tell Samba to use a queueless printing system -- is there even a printing daemon for Samba to use in PDQ? -- is not apparent. It's Samba, not PDQ, that (I think) needs some lprd running ... at least that's the only way I know to set up Samba ... sorry I was unclear about that before.PDQ isn't just a front end for lpr or Lprng. PDQ stands for "Print, Don't Queue" and is a printing system that circumvents the printing queues altogether. With my printer, it's configured to use the pnm2ppa driver as a filter.
