[Samba] Cannot print UPDATE

[Pablo Jejcic]

OK, Now I manage to make it print. The only change I made was to disable
spoolss. So I added to the smb.conf the following line:

disable spoolss = yes

I'm not too sure if this is the best option, but the errors went away, and
the printers are working again. Nevertheless, I would like to know why using
spoolss the printers were not working.

Cheers!

Pablo.-

->Gurus,
->	I have a Solaris 9 server with Samba 2.2.8a installed 
->since December 02, working perfect. Last Friday I installed 
->the last patch cluster from Sun to the system (because of the 
->root vulnerability), and this morning when I came the 
->printers are not working trough samba. The shares and 
->authentication is working without problem, but the printers not.
->	If I try to see the preferences of a printers from a Windows XP
->(pro) machine I get:
->	"Printers properties cannot be displayed. Operation 
->could not be completed"
->
->Then, I didn't change anything on the smb.conf file, but here 
->is the relevant parts:
->
->load printers = yes
->printcap name = lpstat
->printing = bsd
->[printers]
->   comment = All Printers
->   path = /usr/spool/samba
->   browseable = no
->   public = yes
->   guest ok = yes
->   writable = no
->   printable = yes
->   use client driver = yes
->
