Solving my own problem.
I had to explicitly define the print command and printer queue in the
smb.conf file:
[HL-1240]
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
print command = lpr-cups -P lp -o raw %s
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
It works now...
