samba - Apr 2005 - shared network printer on linksys print server

I have a samba server running samba 3.  I am not actually sure that this
is samba not working or a linux printing thing.  I have a Linksys PPSX1
Pocket Print Server and I am unable to print to the network printer.
There are directions on the Linksys site but I get so far and the
directions tell me to type a command that is not found.  Is anyone
printing to a Linksys Pocket Print Server?  I need this to be queue
based.  Any suggestions?

Well, what's the command it's asking for? If it's lpr or lpq
it's probably
because that has been obsoleted by CUPS. You should read info on lpr 
compatability, CUPS, and samba.
first get the printer working from the command line without samba...(through 
cups...) Then you can worry about getting samba to use it.

Ok I dont have the Linksys but use an equivalent (i think) D-Link
DP-101P+ Pocket Size Ethernet Print Server and it works fine from my
Linux server (RHEL AS 3). I think I added it as a TCP/IP printer. what
problems are you having. Where does samba come into the picture?

Are you using CUPS or lpr/LPRng for your printing?

I have a Linksys PSUS4; it's probably similar
to the PPXS1 in the setup.

L1=Logical Printer Port 1, represents LPT1
P1=Parallel Printer Port 1

lpd://x.x.x.x/L1 or lpd://x.x.x.x/P1

Hope this helps,
