Printing Problem

[David Gregory]

I thought of this myself but samba is started from rc.local which is the
very last thing that gets run at boot. I'm fairly certain it's something
to do with cups but as of yet have not been able to track it down. Any
other ideas?

David.

maybe, the lp server is starting after the samba server, and the priter
couldn't be found.
