Printing Problem

[David Gregory]

Done that too. :) I'm definitely leaning towards something to do with
cups. To get cups printing in samba I've set:
	Printing = cups
	Printcap = lpstat

As per the docs. Logically then when samba starts and initialises the
printer it obviously calls lpstat which must query cups but come back
with nothing. I'll have to check the cups docs and see if there's a
delay between launching the daemon and it advertising the printer. Maybe
there's a setting for cups to perk everything up.

I'll keep trawling.

David.
