Printing with 2.0.6

[Michael S. Hulet]

We use lprng for printing through samba and it works great.  Here's our
global print definitions which may be helpful to you.

        # Print Globals
        printing = lprng
        print command = /usr/local/bin/lpr -r -P%p %s
        lpq command = /usr/local/bin/lpq -P%p
        lprm command = /usr/local/bin/lprm -P%p %j
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        printable = yes
        browseable = yes
        printer driver file=/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def
