I've had this before.  It's usually one of or a combination of:

1) not having a machine account

This all set, machine accounts for all systems

parts of the smb.conf:
==============
[global]
               printcap name = lpstat
   

You say you're using cups, but your printcap is lpstat.  I'm not
an expert, but I'm using cups and my printcap name is set to cups.
 

I will try, but in several documents about priting in samba, you see one 
of both versions

   

 

[printers]
      comment = All Printers
      path = /tmp
      create mask = 0700
      printable = Yes
      browseable = No
   

Add "use client driver = yes" and "guest ok=no" here.

OK



 

[copier_E0]
      comment = Xerox copier E0
      path = /tmp
      read only = No
      guest ok = Yes
      printable = Yes
      print command = lp -d '%p' -o raw %s
      lpq command = lpstat -a %p
      lprm command = cancel '%p'-%j
      printer name = lpe0xerox
      use client driver = Yes
      oplocks = No
   

I don't understand why you need this.  If this printer
is defined in cups, it should be loaded already.  That's
what the all printers share is for.  Do you have a 

"load printers = yes"

in your global?  If not, add it.  Unless you've got weird
requirements, this section is redundant and unnecessary.
The [copier_E0] section is because I don't want to advertise all 
printers in the CUPS system. Therefore I make all printers in theri own 
section available
