[Samba] Samba Print Server Problems

[Joel Hammer]

Can you print directly from the BSD box using the lp queue?

I ask because you have an oddly named file for your if parameter. That is
supposed to be your print filter.

I suspect, if these jobs are coming from a windows client, they are already
filtered. I would get rid of the if parameter, run checkpc -f, restart lpd,
and try it again.
