OK, I've solved all of my previous permissions issues, now I just need
to get the output out.
Setup:
SuSE 9.0 Pro running Samba 2.2.8a. VMware installed with Windows 2000
Pro guest OS. Epson C84 attached via USB prints fine from Linux with
CUPS and also via the commandline using smbclient > print. With data
shares, I have no problems.
Problem:
Print jobs from Windows 2000 never get printed.
Observations:
If I print a job from Windows 2000 in VMware and watch the contents of
/var/tmp, I can see the print job file momentarily appear and then
disappear. But, the job never makes it to the printer. The samba log
file shows the following:
[2004/02/05 11:07:02, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_printername_ok(388)

Any ideas appreciated! smb.conf follows:
