[plug] Can't print to NT printer

[Subba Rao]

I need some help with getting this NT printer setup with Samba server.
I think I have modified all the required files and don't know what else is 
missing. An outside observation should find the missing link.

Here is my /etc/printcap:

lp:\
        :cm=NT printer :\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/acct:\
        :mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sh:

I have tried substituting lp=/dev/lp1
The /var/spool/lpd/lp/.config has the following contents:

server=nt
service=color
password=""

Here is printer specific portion of smb.conf:

[global]
        printing = BSD
        print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p %s
        printcap file = /etc/printcap

[printer1]
        printable = yes
        printer = lp
        read only = yes
        guest ok = yes

I have restarted Samba and lpd(don't think it's required). When I issue
the print command,

$ lpr myfile.txt OR  lpr -Plp myfile.txt

the job remains in the queue and does not go to the printer. The printer
on NT is set to "shared".

Any ideas appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
