A "printer" share in Samba MUST have these settings
printable = yes
writeable = no
# [read only = yes]
Any share definition in smb.conf that is tagged as "writeable = yes" may be interpreted by Samba to be a FILE share, not a printer share.

All printer related settings (like moste others) are stored in *.tdb Files (Trivial DataBase). Have a look at the "tdbdump" utility that you can create from the Samba sources (in case it does not ship with your distro's binary packages). The *tdb files may be located in "/var/lib/samba/" (depending on your distro packagers' preferences)...
