I've restarted the daemons many times since altering my smb.conf. My smb.conf definitely has "load printers = yes" (see the smb.conf excerpt I sent in my initial post for the rest of the relevant configuration entries).
You mention that it complains that it can't find the share - I think it makes perfect sense that Samba complains that it doesn't know about a share called 'ps4' right after it complained that it couldn't open the CUPS configuration. :-) It stands to reason that it doesn't know it exists because it can't read the config. I'm more asking about the root problem of why it is complaining that it was "Unable to open printcap file cups for read!". Thanks for the reply - it looks like I've covered all of the gotchas that you mentioned. Something else seems to be at work here... -Fran -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
