I haven't really received a response to this yet. The
lpr program works fine with %p and I removed my .tdb
files pertinent to my printer. Nothing helped. Again, I can
print just fine, but the spool doesn't open. I get a
"Failed to open, retrying" message. When I try
to connect to the printer to read the spool, nothing
shows up in my log.samba file. It's as if Windows isn't
even trying. Is there a known issue with samba 3.0?
I would really like to get this working. If anyone
has any tips, please let me know.
