Justin, Did you use the IP address of the printer as the lpr port?
If so, you're bypassing samba and printing directly to the printer. I'm not sure where the /'s are located. The MS doc mentions the LPD queue name; if yours has / in it somewhere, try renaming it so that it doesn't and see if the error message goes away.
