Printing to canon bjc 610

[Matt Hoover]

Thanks for the leads on the docs - but unfortunately after exhausting all
avenues, I still got the same error.  I have given all 777 permission to both
the divices and the spool directories - i still get the message in the samba
logs - cannot find wps service.  What is this wps?  

Thanks

Matt (reaching) Hoover :)
