why lpstat if you are using CUPS? See comments below.

So I've been thinking about this and was just about to dig into
fixing it, but am confused. Did you compile Samba to include
the cups libraries? If so then setting
[global]
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
is all you need. You don't need the "print command" in this
case as smbd will send directly through the cups API.
If smbd is not linked with the cups library, then I'm curious
why configure did not pick them up for you.
