   This probably won't help your Samba printing situation, but I have a 
bit of advice on the LPR/CUPS issue.  As of RH 7.3(?) you can use the 
Debian-inspired "alternatives" command to choose things like MTA and 
printing system.  On my system:
# alternatives --display print
print - status is manual.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/lpr.cups

   Using "--set" and the path above will update the necessary links for 
you.  You can also use the "redhat-switch-printer" command if you have it 
installed.
   Sorry I don't have more help to offer on the samba problem.  At least 
this advice should make it easier if you decide to switch back to LPRng.
