RH 6.0 SAMBA Printing Problem

[Dave J. Andruczyk]

> What am I missing?!

check the perms on the spool dir. they are usually 777 +t (like /tmp)
usualyy on my systems I have a more advanced smb.conf file thgat
explicitly names the printer name, and spool dir.  I thought samba wants
an individual spool dir for EACH printer, not just one dir
(/var/spool/samba) try permissions first, then add dirs in
/var/spool/samba the same names as your printers, and try again.
