I've spent something like 10 hours now (debugging from 1000 miles away), and the other party has gone to bed.  I just now got my printers to rename.
This works for renaming the printer (where the heck is the name stored??) (var is on an different file system, so my path is different)  symbolic links screw things up, by the way.
[global]
   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes
#   path = /var/spool/samba
   path = /pub/root/var/spool
   printable = yes
   printer admin = @lpadmin
   guest ok = yes
   ; read only = yes
   create mask = 0700
   valid users = someuser

[print$]
 comment = Printer Drivers
path =/pub/root/var/lib/samba/printers
#path = /var/lib/samba/printers
  browseable = yes
  guest ok = no
#  read only = no
  write list = root
I just did an apt-get update, and can confirm I am on the latest samba/cups with 12.04.1.  I used the 64bit server install CD.  

This bug still exists.
This is bull. I could be developing open source, instead, I'm trying to get samba to print.
