The permissions on the spool directories (/var/spool/lpd/xxx/) should be
600, not 770. It sounds like you have the "path" variable in samba on the
printer share set to the spool directory -- this is incorrect. Create
another temp directory somewhere and use that instead. Here is a sample
samba config for a single printer, note the path variable:
[scfmain]
comment = SCF Main Queue
path = /private/spool/sambatmp
browseable = yes
printable = yes
guest ok = no
writable = no
create mode = 0700
hosts allow = 128.193. 127.
You can point all of your printer shares in samba to the same directory if
you wish.
