I've never had much luck using the generic printer settings.  I'd get
the same thing you are getting, so I have always set the following in
the [global] section:

   printing = BSD
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P %p %s

and then I specifically set each printer that I have:

[Laser]
   comment = HP Laser Printer
   path = /var/spool/samba
   print = Laser-Text
   browseable = yes
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writeable = yes

Each printer setting points to a printer in my /etc/printcap file.
