Change that line above (or add it) in your smb.conf to:

   lpq cache time = 300

Add a line (or change it) of

    printcap name = cups

to your smb.conf

This one above doesn't look right!

It's a Samba bug (I'm sure you do not have it in your smb.conf). To
work around it, add a line

    lpq command =

(i.e. with an empty value), or one of

    lpq command = lpq -P %p

(i.e. with a valid value) and see if this makes your messages go away.

Also, did you check for Mike's hint, about having a "cups-lpd" process
running, with a possible client still looking for an old (deleted) print
queue?
