HI! I've noticed that every time I install Samba 4, I need to create a /usr/local/samba/var/spool directory and give it 777 permissions. If I don't do that, I can't share the printers with my windoze machines. Is this by design? Should this be put into the how-to? Thanks -jimc

Should this be put into the how-to?The spool directory is a share like every other share, what means that the folder you have to create always by yourself. wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server#Setup_the_.5Bprinters.5D_share wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server#Sharing_a_printer_with_Samba Btw. you don't need 777 on the spool directory. You only need write permissions for users, who print through this server. Regards, Marc
