Printer shares will not work - 2.0.7

[Fouquet, Errol]

Do you have an entry for "path =" in you smb.conf? The "path" value gets
used as a temporary spooling directory for samba print jobs. It needs to
have permissions set to 1777 ( chmod 1777 <dirname> ).
What does your smb.conf file look like?

First allow me to issue this disclaimer... The following problem is most 
likely due to my own ignorance. Now on to the problem...

I'm setting up some printer shares that allow automatic driver installation 
to Win 9x clients [printer$]. When we try to use these, the drivers install 
beautifully, but we get the following error message when we try to print:

"There was an error writing to \\server\printershare for pritner {Printer 
Driver}:
The network name cannot be found."

The printer shows up when browsing Network Neighborhood but it will not 
allow us to print. Here's some info about the printer. It's an HP LaserJet 
that the Linux box is using (/etc/printcap) as a raw queue printing directly

to the IP address. Any help would be appreciated.
