Samba and CUPS almost there...

Thanks for the reply.  It turned out to be something very simple.  The
name of the printer share was not the name of the printer in the
CUPS printer definition.  Once I had these names matched up it worked
fine.  From the looks of the printer command the -d %p part is the
printer name so apparently the printer name and the share name for the
printer need to be the same so cups knows where to send the print job.

By the way, my configuration file was generated by SWAT, so it was SWAT
that put the * command's in the conf file, and it was SWAT that allowed
me to name the share something other than the name of the printer.
