Samba Printing Problems

Hi all,
I've been trying to set up a PDF converter (as seen at
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html), which uses Samba and
Ghostscript to 'print to PDF.' Everything set up fine, and my conversion
script works fine, but I can't print though the Samba printer from
Win2kPro. Nothing is coming up in the log files, but the file isn't
getting sent to the server, either. When I check the Win Printer Status,
the title bar reads "access denied, unable to connect.'
Here's my smb.conf:
[global]
netbios name = Iris
workgroup = Library
server string = IRIS
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
share modes = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
hosts allow = 139.57.128.116
invalid users = root samba
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 10
[shr]
path = /shr
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
force user = nobody
[pdf]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
use client driver = yes
print command = /usr/bin/printpdf %s
lpq command =
lprm command =
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonathan Younker
