I managed to fix my printer problem today. All I had to do was change the 
path from what it was:
path = /var/spool/lpd/printer_name
to:
path = /var/spool/samba

You can see my partial old and new smb.conf files below. Basically I was 
pointing directly to the real print spool, rather than the samba spool. It 
so easy for me to over look these little details.

Thanks to those of you who responded and/or considered my message. The 
replies here got me to think about the problem in a little different way, 
and I figured it out. I was just going around in circles by myself.

New smb.conf snip:   [hp2100tn]
              comment = The glorious HP2100TN
              printer = hp2100tn
              printable = yes
              path = /var/spool/samba
              print command = lpr -P hp2100tn -r %s
              printing = BSD
              read only = yes
