Hi folks,
Good (and bad) news. I fixed the Samba printing problem. There was nothing
wrong with my smb.conf file or samba, the problem was with lpr. I fixed it by
downgrading lpr from the lpr-0.48-1mdk package in Mandrake 7 to the
lpr-0.38-3mdk in Mandrake 6.1. This looks like a bug to me (Mandrake developers
take note)!!
