^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Get rid of this. I think Samba is failing to submit the transferred file
to the lpr system because of its presence. "writable" is only for
disk shares. The path should be something like /tmp since it is
Unix's lpd system which is using the spool directory, _not_ Samba.
Also make sure that the permissions on the spool directory allow the
creation of files by all.
