Tim,
I have some pending patches from Mike Sweet in this area (I'm not a
CUPS/print expert, merely a conduit). WRT this patch, Mike says
Since Samba expects the domain in the username, it isn't really
doing the right thing with AUTH_DOMAIN and setting auth-info-required
to "domain,username,password". Also, the <cups/backend.h> header
really isn't needed and will prevent smbspool from working on non-
CUPS systems.
I should have Mike's smbspool changes through legal next week. Can you
hold this up until you see his changes?
