The complete contents of my smb.conf (that has to do with printing) follows: [global] debug level = 2 ... log file=/var/log/samba.%m ... printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printers.conf load printers = yes ... ...disk shares... [printers] comment = "All printers" path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes public = yes writable = no create mode = 0700 [pagepro6] path = /var/spool/samba printer name = pagepro6 writable = yes public = yes printable = yes print command = /usr/bin/nawk '/^%!PS/, /^%%EOF/' %s | /usr/bin/lp -c -o nobanner -T postscript -d %p; rm -f %s Any suggestion besides sett ing up a cron job to print everything in the spool directory every minute or so, but this isn't the optimal solution to the problem ? /PeO
