'path' entry and printing in smb.conf

Hi,

Do I actually need a 'path' entry for each printer share defined in my
smb.conf? Or is 'path' redundant in this case as the only relevance it
has would be for the printing spool directory, which is defined by my
/etc/printcap for all my printers anyway??  The man page for smb.conf
seems to suggest that I do need a path entry, so should this be the same
as the spool directory defined in /etc/printcap, or do they need to be
different??

cheers

Jules
