[Samba] Samba Printing

[Douglas Sterner]

Using Samba 3.05 and cups I'm having some trouble getting documents to 
print thru CUPS in raw mode. Documents print fine from the server but not 
from an XP client. When I used  the following print 
command statement for troubleshooting the job is getting to the Samba 
server spool directory for that printer. The CUPS admin page never sees 
the job and no errors are given. Everything looks like it has printed just 
nothing comes out of the printer. When I print a test page from the server 
it prints and the job shows up in cups. 

print command = cp %s /var/spool/samba/dell5300n/testprint.prn 

Question 1: What is a print command to use for raw printing thru cups 

Question 2: What are the correct permissions user/group for the 
/var/spool/samba/dell5300n  spool directory.
