[Samba] Doubts about sharing a winprinter

[Alfonso A.]

With the NEC Silentwriter Supercript 610 printer hooked in my Debian box, I get this error:

GREENDEMON:~# lpadmin -p sscript610 -v parallel:/dev/null -E -m laserjet.ppd
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible

I don't know if the list of modules that I have loaded will help quite much, but here they are:

GREENDEMON:~# lsmod

Thanks for all your help and sorry... but I cannot understand quite well the way of printing in Linux with CUPS and Samba :(
