Hi,
The <user> part should be the same as the username you use to connect to the filesystem shares.
On my samba config [print$] relates to the share where the Windows drivers live, so when you connect a new Windows machine to the network, it doesn't ask you for a printer driver disk.
I can't undertand why so many people are having problems with CUPS. Every machine I've set up over the apst 4 years has had cups installed and it just works for me. If you want something really hard to make work first time, try using asterisk :-)
