Hi all. In the interest of using a more mainstream business distribution, I
changed my faithful file/printserver over to Redhat 8.0 from Debian Testing.
Now, my shared directories are working fine but printing is not working. I
can browse to the printer using net view or Network Neighborhood in Windows
or using smbclient -L in Linux but printing is not working. I've checked
/var/log/samba/ and the only errors I found dealt w/ permissions on
/var/spool/cups which I fixed w/ a chmod 1777. Right now I suspect the
printcap name = /etc/printca is my problem but I'm not sure. If anybody has
some input on this or even a working smb.conf using Redhat 8.0 w/ CUPS, I
would appreciate it. I am including a portion of my smb.conf in case someone
can spot the error I'm missing :)
