Update.
Sorry. This is a bit misleading. What I've been able to find out is that
Samba does recieve the job correctly, and puts it in the proper spool (path =
/var/spool/samba). However, once there, it is no longer processed.
I thought perhaps it was permissions but that front looks good. I also tried
specifying a "print command" in the conf. To no avail. The strangest
thing
about all this is how this could be related to NIS.
Help?
