Check /var/log/messages.  This is what I saw:

Mar 30 08:33:08 eragon smbd[27923]:   '/usr/spool/samba' does not exist 
or permission denied when connecting to [lp] Error was No such file or 
directory

# ln -s /var/spool /usr/spool

So the rpm put the spooldir in the wrong place, and/or failed to make 
the link.  I am not sure what the packager intended.

Good luck!
