Michael,

Did you specify what kind of spooling system you have? For cups you need
to put something like this in your smb.conf


# CUPS printing.  See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the
# cupsys-client package.
~   printing = cups
~   printcap name = cups

here is a snip of my config with working printer shares:
- ---
[printers]
~   comment = All Printers
~   browseable = yes
~   path = /tmp
~   printable = yes
~   public = no
~   writable = no
~   guest ok = yes
~   create mode = 0700
- ---

| So, when I print it does put something in /var/spool/cups
|
| but how do I get it to print?
|
| When I print locally to the pritner it puts a file in /var/spool/cups
so I
