My smb.conf lacked the "printcap = cups". After I introduced it, I got what I 
wanted: Now "lpq" shows the full name of the files being printed. Thanks Kurt.

PS: Even though my cupsaddsmb -v still doesn't work! But I'll fix it later when 
I have the time. For the moment, everything comes out of the printer correctly. 

Best regards,
Didier.
