Hmm....I need to work out a few things in my head and
update the Printing HOWTO I think.  Let me remind myself
of all the necessary steps and get back to you.

This is very strange.  Samba should always report the default
"Samba Printer Port" at a minimum.  Can you send me a level

attempt.  Make sure that 'debug timestamps = no"
