Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The printer share shows up fine in Windows-2000 printer panel, no connection/permission issues. [3] I could only trace CUPS spool directory to /var/spool/cups/tmp Does anyone have a working Samba-2.2.2 setup using cups that can send me their smb.conf file ?

Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. # #======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 workgroup = WORKGROUP ################################################################## passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd log level = 3 use client driver = yes disable spoolss = yes ################################################################# # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server # This option is important for security.

This is what I have set up. Using Win2k and XP to connect to linux print server. Works like a dream, so much that we are replacing all win print servers next year with linux and samba!!
