[Samba] Problems printing from Windows 2000

[Markus Feldmann]

Hallo first you should copy and paste the importent part of the error_log
file in your mail.
Therefor you should run the cupsd in debug modus(normally this is in info
modus).
The error_log is in /var/log/cups/ .
To change from info to debug modus look in the /etc/cups/cups.conf .

mfg Markus
