Samba and Printing

Hello,

I have a problem with printing to a Samba printer... I see my print jobs
spool but I can not get them to print!  I've been able to print directly to
the printer using lpr -P %p %s, but when I send the job over through Samba,
the file spools, windows notifies of printing, but nothing prints.

I've checked access on the spool directory... The necessary permissions are
there.

I am running:
Samba 2.2.7a
RH 9 2.4
HP Photosmart 7550 printer

My smb.conf file:

   [global]
           server string = Samba Running %v
           socket options = TCP_NODELAY
           keep alive = 30
           print command =  lpr -P %p %s
          lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq %p
          ;debug level = 4
          use client driver = yes

     [printers]
          comment = Printers
          path = /tmp
          printable = yes
          browseable = no
          create mode = 0700

[HPPS7550]
         comment = HP Photosmart 7550
          printer = HP_Photosmart_7550
          path = /tmp
          printable = yes
          browseable = no
          printable = yes
          use client driver = yes

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Alejandro
