samba - Apr 2002 - What I must configure to use LPRng with Samba

Hi All,

	I'm trying to use LPRng with Samba, but i got no success.
	Well, I've created an empty /etc/lpd.conf and a /etc/lpd.perms with only 
"DEFAULT ACCEPT".
	Follow, my /etc/printcap:

epson:cm=Dummy Printcap Entry:
      :lp=/dev/null
      :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
      :sh:if=/usr/bin/smbprint
smb:
      :lp=|/usr/bin/smbprint
      :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:

	and here the .config of each printer :

/var/spool/lpd/epson/.config :

share='\\josi\epson'
hostip=192.168.8.129
user='usuario'
password='senha'
workgroup='gruponet.com.br'

and

/var/spool/lpd/smb/.config :

share="//josi/epson"
hostip="192.168.8.129"

I've setted the right permissions and run the checkpc, so the permissions 
warning disapear.
In my smb.conf I put the follow in [global] :

    printcap name = /etc/printcap
    load printers = yes
    printing = lprng
    print command = /usr/bin/lpr  -P%p -r %s
    lpq command   = /usr/bin/lpq  -P%p
    lprm command  = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
    lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
    lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j
    queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc  -P%p stop
    queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start

and in the [printers] :

[printers]
    path = /var/spool/lpd/%p
    comment = Impressoras
    browseable = yes
    public = yes
    guest ok = no
    printable = yes

I can map a Printer from my Windows client but when I try to send something 
to be printted The document dont go to the printer and no error occurs...

Anybody knows what's wrong?

PS: Sorry my bad english

Thanks...

Are you trying to print from the samba server to the Windows box or from the
windows box to the samba server?

Do you know what this printcap entry is saying?
Is says to send the print job to samba. You don't want to do this on your
server. Your server is going to talk to the printer attached to itself
and it won't use samba for that.
> epson:cm=Dummy Printcap Entry:
>       :lp=/dev/null
>       :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
>       :sh:if=/usr/bin/smbprint
The following is the sort of print cap entry you need:

ps|z53:\
        sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/z53:mx#0:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :if=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53.sh
        :sh:              

This uses the filter pointed to by the if parameter to convert print jobs to
a format usable by my z53 printer. Note lp points to the device which has
the printer physically attached to the server.
