[Samba] How the program spoolss works ?

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

There is a small bug in the directories. 

Verify this: 

[print$]
   comment = Printer Drivers
   path = /var/lib/samba/printers 

Check if you see these folders in /var/lib/samba/printers 

color  IA64  W32ALPHA  W32MIPS  W32PPC  W32X86  WIN40  x64

Most probley you need to : 
rmdir var/lib/samba/printers/COLOR
mkdir var/lib/samba/printers/color

And restart samba

Lets start there, if that does not fixes it, please post the complete smb.conf


Greetz, 

Louis
