You'd surely harvest a more definite answer if you
had spiced the question seed with some version info
about CUPS, Samba and the OS-s you're using...

This last error is typically showing up if your printer "eps61001"
is not yet known to Samba. This may happen if you just installed
that printer freshly in CUPS and run cupsaddsmb before doing a
"kill -HUP `pidof smbd`"
The most recent Samba version (3.0.4) shouldn't require this any
more. But "older" versions only learn about these printers which
are available at smbd startup, and don't auto-learn new printers
added during smbd runtime.

Likely because the "shared printer" doesn't exist from Samba's
point of view...
Check it with
rpcclient -Uroot%smbpassword -c enumprinters sambahostname
