The first one worked, the second one didn't and then the first one didn't work anymore. Spent a lot of hours on this and finally got it working - here's how I did it, this might not be the 'recommended' way but it worked for me.
The redhat-config-printer tool just didn't seem to cut it. I deleted all the printers created by that tool. I did have the postscript.ppd file for each printer which copied up via the APW as described in the how-to. I put a copy of the ppds in /usr/share/cups/model/ppd subdirectory. I then used the cups web tool... http://localhost:631 (if you are accessing from a different computer, watch the firewall settings). >From this tool, I created the printers and then when I was all done, I restarted smbd/nmbd (service smb restart) Bang - they worked. Note - if that was your smb.conf that was originally attached, when using cups, I don't think that you want any 'print commands' and you will probably want a PRINT$ share - see the how-to. I would also recommend using encrypt passwords = yes and wins support = yes YMMV Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
