[Samba] Samba and Cups

[Kevin Smith]

Yes I see that, the CUPS printcap has just the printer sharename in it.
Now CUPS does work as far as printing test sheets from the Web Interface,
the issue seems to be why samba doesn't recognize it and let me add the
printer to the clients. There is always a possibility that Im missing
something.
In the Win9X clients, when I try to add a printer, it says the share isn't
there. Now I don't have a model printer share ([Epson] ect.) in the
smb.conf, but from all Vie read, I shouldn't need one, CUPS should take care
of all that.
Thanks,
Kev

I understand that CUPS sets up a dummy printcap for the use of
applications like samba, and it is best left alone. If printcap was
changed, then maybe samba can't understand it. Indeed the fact that
printing worked for a bit then stopped could even have been due to the
delay between the changes being made and samba refreshing its
configuration (which is quite short I think).
