[Samba] Printer problems

[Gary Thomas]

I'm trying to work with a CUPS printer and make it visible 
via SAMBA.  I've been following the cookbook (from the CUPS 
site), but it just doesn't work.  This is based on SAMBA-3.0.0 
(beta from RedHat)

Here's the output of the 'cupsaddsmb' command which is just 
a automated mechanism for adding the printer, drivers, etc.

[root at hermes SPECS]# cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a

Note: I've been trying to get this working for quite a while now
and would really appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.
