[Samba] Printing problem

[daulton theodore]

Well, all users are printing now. Thanks Joel for pointing out that a home
directory 'files1/test' was being added for each user except user1. I had only
one reerence to files1/test in my conf file so I commented it out and
restarted the daemon. Checked the client log file again only to find out that
the same thing was occuring. My next step was to get rid of the /files1/test
directory. Having done this I restarted the daemon and lo and behold we are
printing. Thanks again Joel.

I am really stumped as to why this was happening because there was a Homes
share defined which was supposed to be files1/%g/%U. This was being displayed
in Windows Explorer as the home directory...not /files1/test.......hmmmm any
thoughts?

Joel. I am not sure why your email did not get through. Please try again
copying to daulton at sympatico.ca. This will allow me to follow up on our end if
it does not get through to my regular address.
