[Samba] CUPS setup with 3.0.3pre1

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Hello,

I am currently trying to setup Samba 3.0.3pre1 to share my freshly
installed LaserJet. I have NOT had any printer until now, so I can't
tell you if the behavior was different before 3.0.3pre1.

The problem:

My smb.conf contains:

> [global]
> ## Printing

>       load printers = yes
>       printcap name = cups
>       printing = cups 


> [printers]
>    comment = All Printers
>    printing = cups
>    path = /usr/spool/samba
>    browseable = Yes
>    printable = yes

There is no string "lpstat" in my smb.conf.

testparm runs through fine.

testparm -s | grep lpstat   gives:

> Loaded services file OK.
>         printcap name = lpstat
>         lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -o '%p'

???

This results in the entries:

> tail /var/log/samba/log.smbd

What do I miss here ?

Thanks ...
