'path' entry and printing in smb.conf

it should be different from the one in /etc/printcap. Not because Samba
will mind, but your print system may get confused if it finds
unexpected files in its spool area. 

You can use the same directory for all your Samba printers though,
many people just set them all to /tmp. For tidyness you may wish to
create a /var/spool/samba and use that for all Samba printers.
