[Samba] Samba 2.2.5 and printers

[Van Sickler, Jim]

It looks like you have a conflict
between lprng rights and samba rights.

LPRng is 0700 for the dir, and 0600 for
the files within.  Samba is 0777 for
the dir and files.

1.  create /var/spool/lpd/epson660

2.  edit  /etc/printcap or /usr/local/etc/printcap
:sd= entry for the epson660 to reflect the change

3.  delete the /var/spool/lpd/samba dir & files

4.  run lpc reread

5.  run checkpc -f -V to fix the dir/perm's

6.  create /var/spool/samba/epson660

7.  edit the smb.conf [epson660
] path= to reflect
the change

8.  chown -R root.wheel (OpenBSD) or root.root (Linux?)
/var/spool/samba

9.  chmod -R 1777 /var/spool/samba

10.  run testparm to see if samba is ok.

11.  run lpc reread and restart samba

12.  try a test page to see if it works again

Let us know...

Jim

P.S.  from the looks of it, you can move
the (lprng) command stuff to [Global] and
delete the [Printers] section entirely.
