I know nothing about cups. Here is what I would do.
I would change the print command in my smb.conf to something like echo "have printed this thing %s" > /tmp/junk The file should be saved on your hard drive somewhere, in the spool directory you made for it with the name %s. Try cat'ing the file to /dev/lpX, and see if it prints properly. This will bypass the cups printing software. You might also try to figure out what cups is doing with this file after it lands on your hard drive.
