  Hi list.  I've just got Samba up and running as a fileserver just 
fine.  Now I'm trying to use it as a printserver using CUPS.  I can see 
said printer via Network Neighborhood on XP boxes and add it in Windows 
but no print jobs complete.  No errors in Windows yet no printing start 
on the printer.  Would this be a question of spool permissions?  Right 
now I'm using spool permissions of 1777 on /var/spool/cups.  I am 
posting my printers sections below in hopes of this being (probably) an 
easy fix from one of my fellow list members.  Thanks in advance!


[printers]
    path = /var/spool/cups
    use client driver = Yes
    guest ok = Yes
    comment = All Printers
    printable = yes
    create mask = 0700

[Laserjet]
    path = /var/spool/cups
    writable = yes
    use client driver = Yes
    guest ok = Yes
    oplocks = No
    printable = yes
    printer name = Laserjet
    create mask = 0700
