Using Samba 3 / RHEL 3 - I have a setup that works and my understanding
with Samba 3 is that it is not necessary to have specific sections for
the printers at all, they are read by samba directly from cups. Not sure
why are you are using printing = cups in [global] and sysv within each
printer definition.

Thus, I am spooling a bunch of different printers but the only items
that I have regarding printing in my smb.conf are:

[global] #printer section
        load printers = yes
        printing = cups
        printcap = cups
        show add printer wizard = yes
        printer admin = @"Domain Administrators"
        use client driver = no
 
[printers]
        comment = Network Printers
        printer admin = @"Print Operators"
        path = /home/filesystems/printing/spool/
        guest ok = yes
        printable = yes
        writable = no
        read only  = Yes
 
[print$]
        path = /home/filesystems/printing/printers
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = Yes
        read only = Yes
        printer admin = root Administrator
        write list = root
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
