The Samba pinter spool directory has to be
writable by the user. In your case, this is
/var/spool/lpd/lp
You may (should?) want to create a spool directory
reserved for samba and make it user writable (or
if your security is tight, make writable by a
samba group and modiy groups/users accordingly)
/var/spool/samba
Note: the Samba spool directory is not the same as
the LPD spoo directory.
Hope this helps, Appologies if I've made any
errors.
