Ok, thanks to advices from some fine people my printer is now visible from
Windows clients and I even managed to have printer drivers stored on Linux
machine and downloaded to clients when installing printer. However, when
I try to print from some client, error message from subject line ("Could
not
start print job") appears. Server is Samba 2.2.0alpha3, clients are
Windows 2000 Workstations, CUPS is 1.1.6, and my smb.conf is as attached
to this message. I've tried to raise Samba and CUPS log levels, but found
nothing in logs that could direct me how to further debug problem. Any idea
how to proceed?
Thanks,
Alex

I've tried both combinations (0700 and 0755) and tried also to change owner to 'lp' and group to 'sys' (like /var/spool/cups) but with no results.
