I need some help with getting this NT printer setup with Samba server.
I think I have modified all the required files and don't know what else is
missing. An outside observation should find the missing link.
Here is my /etc/printcap:
lp:\
:cm=NT printer :\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbprint:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
I have tried substituting lp=/dev/lp1
The /var/spool/lpd/lp/.config has the following contents:
server=nt
service=color
password=""
Here is printer specific portion of smb.conf:
[global]
printing = BSD
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p %s
printcap file = /etc/printcap
[printer1]
printable = yes
printer = lp
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
I have restarted Samba and lpd(don't think it's required). When I issue
the print command,
$ lpr myfile.txt OR lpr -Plp myfile.txt
the job remains in the queue and does not go to the printer. The printer
on NT is set to "shared".
Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

The printer >on NT is set to "shared".nt wants user/pass auth. You need to edit the smbprint filter (or make a specific version of that script for that printer) and edit the last line in order to pass to smbclient a valid nt user/pass pair. -- giulioo@pobox.com
