Jeramy,
Try running the following commands to see if they
find/correct anything you've missed:
checkpc -f -V
testparm
Also, be sure your lpr spool dirs aren't the same
as your samba spool dirs. Rights/owners are
different on them.
One mod to lpd.conf that may hold a key is to
change the defaults on the spool dir rights
from 000700 to 000770. It fixed a problem for
me.
spool_dir_perms=000770
My LPRng 3.8.21 / samba 2.28a setup results in:

A couple of side notes:
1. Be sure you're using the LPRng executables. When I update
my OpenBSD box, I have to go back and reset the links to them.
paste the following into a text file, edit it to correct any dir
differences. Set the text file as executable, and run it if you've
determined the binaries are actually lpr, not LPRng. Don't forgeet
to run it if you upgrade your OS, if the upgrade installs lpr
binaries by default.
cd /usr/bin
mv lp lp.org
mv lpq lpq.org
mv lpr lpr.org
mv lprm lprm.org
mv lpstat lpstat.org
cd /usr/sbin
mv lpc lpc.org
mv lpd lpd.org
mv lpracct lpracct.org
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm
ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpstat /usr/bin/lpstat
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpc /usr/sbin/lpc
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpd /usr/sbin/lpd
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt /usr/sbin/lpraccnt
NOTE: This doesn't take into account OS-specific things,
like CUPS/LPRng switching, the location of the printcap
and lpd_printcap files, filters, and local tweaks. It
works on my OpenBSD 3.2 and 3.4 print servers. Verify
where your lp* executables are, and correct the dirs
and links prior to running the script.
2. Having said all of the above...I've pretty much
given up on using samba to handle my print jobs,
and print directly to LPRng. I never could
get the printed job name to be annunciated; just
the smbprn.xxxxxx.xxxxxx spooled name. I set up
a local TPC/IP port on my Win2k/XP boxen, custom
settings of server/printer name, lpr, queue name, and
check the "LPR byte count enabled" box.
The print jobs annunciate correctly in the
printer status on the PC, and in the job log
on the printer, if capable. If the job is hung,
I only have to look at LPRng and the printer;
samba is no longer a factor. Simpler is better...
Hope this helps,
Jim
