NT and Linux printer sharing

[Burkhard Weeber]

A short look at the smb.conf tells me that a printer should be writable:

> [Epson Stylus]
> path = /var/spool/samba
> comment = Epson Stylus Photo 750
> printer name = epson
> browseable = yes
> printable = yes
> public = yes
> writable = no
=================
> 
change writable to yes.

Hope it helps
