Samba Printing

[David Lodeiro]

Thanks for that web page, I had run into it a while ago and completely forgot 
about it.

I ammended my printcap to include the entry :

# APS2_BEGIN:printer2
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer2
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
Canoni850|bjc800:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/Canoni850:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/Canoni850/log:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
# APS2_END - don't delete this

To handle all the raw printing ( ie. from windows )

And ammended my smb.conf printers section to
[printers]
   comment = Printers
   path = /var/spool/lpd
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   public = yes
#   create mode = 4777

[Canoni850]
   comment = Canoni850
   path = /var/spool/lpd/Canoni850
   browseable = yes
   printable = yes
#   printer driver = Canon i850

[lp]
   comment = FreeBSD printer
   browseable = no
   printable = yes

However I still have the same problem. The weird part is that on the XP client 
when I go to print a test page, nothing shows up in the printers que, but no 
error comes up either.

Here is what I got in log.smbd with log level at 10

Jose is the name of the XP client, davesserver is the name of the FreeBSD box. 
Again sorry about the long post

Any help is appreciated

Thankyou

David
