Using Printservers with Samba!

[Burkhard Weeber]

Hello Alpaslan,

you have to put in a spool directoy statement for each printer on the print server.
If you don't put in that :sd=<path>: LINUX assumes that the receiving partner is a
true spooler which can handle multiple requests an queues then up itself.
If you put in that :sd=<path>: LINUX first queues up all the requests and sends
them out to the receiving partner one by one.

Hope it helps
