Printing - Samba-VMS V2.0.6

Hi

I still can't get Samba-VMS V2.0.6 to unspool the files it puts in the /tmp
directory to any printer in printcap.dat.

However I have discovered something disturbing about the smb.conf file.
Samba appears to ignore the 'print command =' line completely. I can put
anything in this line and it will be quietly ignored so I have been unable
to implement a debug procedure suggested to me by Tadgh O'Sullivan. He
suggested writing a small command procedure to capture the parameters to the
print command by replacing the print command with:

print command = @/some/where/print.com %f %s %p

I tried this and was intrigued to find that no attempt was made to run the
command procedure.  Not only was the procedure not run but the spool file
was still created and placed in /tmp.

Looks like I may have to resort to delving into the source code unless
anyone can suggest why the spool files are not being unspooled to a printer.

Regards

Chris
