[Samba] Problems with printers

[John H Terpstra]

Rob,

Sorry. Not enough information.

What is in your smb.conf?

Have are the printers set up? Are you using Raw interface on CUPS?
	- If so, did you enable application/octet-stream in CUPS
		/etc/cups/mime*

Was samba-3.0.1 compiled and linked against the cups-devel libraries?
	- to find out run:
		smbd -b | grep CUPS

If you have CUPS, you should not be using /etc/printcap at all. Samba
talks directly to CUPS via a direct printing API.
