[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba Printer Problems

[Jason Ferguson]

Okay, I'm pulling my hair out here. Here's my story.

I have a Lexmark Z52 Printer set up, connected to my box via the
parallel port (/dev/lp0). I use the CUPS-gimpprint drivers and can print
fine from the box. I even got the [printer$] section set up correctly
(woohoo!).

However, the problem comes from my wife's win98SE box.  I got the
printer installed, but it still absolutely refuses to print. I'm getting
a bit tired of "Test page failed to print... would you like to run the
print troubleshooter?" I'm suspecting a permission problem somewhere,
but Im trying to use /tmp as my spool directory.

Software versions:
Samba: 2.2.3a
CUPS: 1.1.14

Can anyone make some suggestions?

Here is my smb.conf:


[global]
	interfaces = eth0
	nt acl support = no
	use client driver = yes
	printing = cups
	security = user
	encrypt passwords = true
	server string = %h server (Samba %v)
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	valid users = @users, nobody
	netbios name = Werewolf
	printcap name = lpstat
	printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def

[homes]
	path = %H
	writable = yes
	browseable = no
	valid users = %S
	comment = Home Directories
	public = yes
	create mask = 0777

[printers]
	path = /tmp
	writable = yes
	browseable = yes
	create mode = 0700
	lprm command = cancel %p-%j
	lpq command = lpstat -o %p
	valid users = ferguson,jenny,nobody,root
	comment = All Printers
	print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r
	printable = yes
	public = yes
