[Samba] Re: samba printing

[Martin Schmidt]

Hi,
I had similar probs with samba and cups in samba version 2.x and 3.0.1.
There is something about the directories you have to create, make entries for 
application/raw in the cups.conf, but it was never stable.
After I found out, that cups is fine, when you want to print from the 
linux-box, but I am not working on my samba-servers, I changed back to LPRNG 
and since then my troubles where gone.

CUPS is a fine thing, but I see no benefits, if just use the 
linux-spool-system as a printserver for win clients. 

Maybe someone tells about the advandages of cupy and shows me a howto getting 
cups and samba working properly and stable. I will consider my desicion once 
again, but until now I am maybe not using all the fine things of cups, but 
avoiding problems.
