Discovered something that cost me an hour or two trying to solve.
In http://localhost:901/swat/help/smb.conf.5.html#PRINTCAPNAME it says: ----- To use the CUPS printing interface set printcap name = cups . This should be supplemented by an addtional setting printing = cups in the [global] section. printcap name = cups will use the "dummy" printcap created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS configuration file. ----- Well...in that case, "printcap name = cups" makes Samba look for a file called "cups" which doesn't exist (maybe some old version of CUPS created this file instead of editing /etc/printcap?). Therefore you get errors in /var/log/messages and Samba can't find the printers you used CUPS to set up. And that means you spend quite a while looking for a problem that just happened because you followed directions. Please someone on the Samba team correct this? Thanks!
