I have installed samba 3.0alpha20 and cups-1.1.18 on a freebsd 4.8 box. After
reading all the documentation that samba provides as well as the cups
administrators guide I am still stuck.

I can print at the moment OK from my freebsd box to my network printer using
cups, i can print from the shell and from a GUI (GNOME).

I also have a professional w2k as a client and i want to print in my network
printer via Samba Server, the weird thing is that i can print OK from my w2k
client but in my w2k printer status stay Opening for a while and ends sending
to the printer status header "Error to print, try new" and in my samba log
file i can see this error message "yield_connection: tdb_delete for name 
failed with error Record does not exist"

I dont know what to do, im feel free to ask for a opinion, i hope for help!

i  only post my samba configuration file to give you some idea about the some
possible error because i dont think that the problem is my cups configuration
file!
