[cups] /var/spool/samba or /var/spool/cups/tmp

[Bill Schoolcraft]

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached)

Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and
Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again
having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the
change to CUPS.

[1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the
Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error.

[2] The printer share shows up fine in Windows-2000 printer panel,
no connection/permission issues.

[3] I could only trace CUPS spool directory to /var/spool/cups/tmp

Does anyone have a working Samba-2.2.2 setup using cups that can
send me their smb.conf file ?

TIA

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
