RH 6.0 SAMBA Printing Problem

[Brent Williams]

What am I missing?!

I've installed fresh RH 6.0 with included SAMBA on Dell server.  I am unable
to get Win 98 workstations to print to SAMBA shared printer.  Here is what I
have done...

created printers in Linux and tested with lpr -P ... worked fine
edited the smb.conf file to set up SAMBA server.  Printer section is vary
plain...

printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes

[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = no
writeable = no
printable = yes

When logged into the SAMBA server via Win 98, I see the printers and can set
them up in 98.  When I print to them, I see the print briefly in the queue
in 98. But nothing ever prints.  Using lpq on the Linux server shows nothing
in the queue.

This same setup worked well with RH 5.2.  Any help appreciated.
