[Samba] RH Enterprise Question

[Dale Schroeder]

Danny,

These are the options that I explicitly set to make Samba/CUPS printing 
work for me.  Note: These may or may not be what _you_ want.

[global]
load printers = Yes
show add printer wizard = Yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
use client driver = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
    path = /your/path
    public = Yes
    guest ok = Yes
    browseable = No
    printable = Yes
    admin users = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale
    writeable = No

[print$]
    comment = Printer Driver Download Area
    path = /your/path
    browseable = Yes
    guest ok = No
    read only = Yes
    write list = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale
    admin users = @"DOMAIN\Domain Admins", DOMAIN\dale

As you can see, we are on a domain, and the permissions that I used on 
the directory that contains the print drivers are 775 and owned by 
root:"domain users".
If you are using the postscript drivers in CUPS, have you tried printing 
from within Linux to verify that CUPS is OK?
Since the steps were not intuitive for me, the first time I set this up 
took a lot of trial and error.  I hope this gives a clue as to what 
might work for you.

Good luck,

Dale
