This might be the problem. I had a similar one somewhat more subtle. I compiled Samba 3 and found that CUPS didn't compile in, though requested. It turned out that I had a version of CUPS from a rogue rpm picked up somewhere last year, that was lacking a configuration script that Samba uses when compiling CUPS in. I then compiled and installed a recent version of CUPS that fixed the problem - except that none of the printers appeared in Windows (or with smbclient -L). Changing to printcap name=/etc/printcap fixed the problem. Samba wasn't able to find that file by accessing the CUPS configuration. I then uninstalled the original rpm (which should have been done first off), and reinstalled the later CUPS package. All is now well (apparently).
