you should'nt need this ...
the printers will automatically get loaded from the printcap
or cups api...

But he had all this commented out....

cups error_log:


He should set "LogLevel debug" in cupsd.conf....

these lines look like your job has made it to cups and is failing in
there...

This is likely, but not conclusive. Is it really a job originating from a Windows client? Only "LogLevel debug" would show... Also, "LogLevel debug" would show if and why "job 30" failed. (There is not yet an error in this part of the log. It would appear on the next few lines, but these were not provided....)

so you don't need to mess with your samba configuration.

if this doesn't work - take it to the cups lists...

one problem you may have is that the windows pcs are sending jobs that
are ready for printing with no ripping...
you could try setting up your printer in cups as a raw printer instead
of pcl5 or whatever you set it up as.

best wishes!


Cheers, Kurt
