a couple of things that might help:
1. check your /etc/smb.conf. Does it have a line like:
printing = lprng
in the [global] section
see man pages for samba and smb.conf - samba has specific support for
lprng.
2. check your /etc/lpd.perms - you may not have set up the permissions
correctly to allow the win95 box to see the queue and/or delete jobs.
