Gordon, I did as you suggested, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion However, this is contrary to the given docs on how to use CUPS with Samba, is it not?

Here's a snippet from my smb.conf: # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx printing = cups And, from my cupsd.conf: # Printcap: the name of the printcap file. Default is /etc/printcap. # Leave blank to disable printcap file generation. # Printcap /etc/printcap My ignorance is vast, but this setup seems to work for me!
