[Samba] Printing queue problem!

[Joel Hammer]

This may involve lpd.perms.

I would make lpd.perms a one line file for debugging purposes:

DEFAULT ACCEPT

I am not sure if you have to restart lpd to make the changes take effect.
If that doesn't work, then you may need to change your smb.conf. I don't
know which printing software you are using. I use lprng. I overkill in
my printing share setup but I want to leave nothing to chance. Below is
an example (you don't need the involved print command.

 /usr/bin/lpr -Plp -J'%J' %s;rm %s

would work just fine.

The -J parameter is to get the name of the print file from windows. I
believe that name is the banner parameter which you can send explicitly when
you print from linux. If you use -J, hopefully you won't see the smbxxxxx
name in your print queue.

I don't claim this is perfect or will work just right for you, and so you'll
likely have to fiddle some.
