[Mike Watsom]

Here is my smb.conf.  Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
[global]
	workgroup = HOMEGROUP
	log level = 8
	path = /var/spool/lpd/HPDESKJET
	default service = global
	writable = yes
	printer = HPDESKJET
	remote announce = 192.168.x.x/HOMEGROUP
	print command = lpr -l -P%p %s
	printing = bsd
	load printers = yes
	dns proxy = No
	lprm command = lprm
	public = yes
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	printer name = HPDESKJET
	postscript = yes
	lpq command = lpq -L
	max log size = 50
	null passwords = Yes
	name resolve order = lmhosts host bcast

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No
	browseable = No

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	guest ok = no
	writeable = no
	printable = yes
	path = /var/spool/lpd/HPDESKJET
	create mode = 0700
