The share needs to be world writeable.

These are only needed if you don't have the *BSD tools (IIRC).

The windows machine must first write the data to a file in the
directory specified in the [printers] section (/tmp).  Then the "print
command" sends that file to the print spooler and removes it.  (note:
the command must remove the file, otherwise they just keep building
up)

Set "writeable = yes", install 'cupsys-bsd' and comment out your
command specifiers.
