Discovered something that cost me an hour or two trying to solve.
In http://localhost:901/swat/help/smb.conf.5.html#PRINTCAPNAME it says:
-----
To use the CUPS printing interface set printcap name = cups . This should be
supplemented by an addtional setting printing = cups in the [global]
section. printcap name = cups will use the "dummy" printcap created by CUPS,
as specified in your CUPS configuration file.
-----
Well...in that case, "printcap name = cups" makes Samba look for a file
called "cups" which doesn't exist (maybe some old version of CUPS created
this file instead of editing /etc/printcap?). Therefore you get errors in
/var/log/messages and Samba can't find the printers you used CUPS to set up.
And that means you spend quite a while looking for a problem that just
happened because you followed directions.
Please someone on the Samba team correct this?
Thanks!
Greg
