Which printing mnechansim works best with Samba? CUPS or BSD?
CUPS. libcups.so is linked into Samba (if configured with this -- default -- option). CUPS is also much more advanced and feature-rich than BSD.
I suspect that BSD support in Samba is not the greatest.
Don't blame Samba for that.... ;-)
The reason is, that BSD-printing doesn't support much by itself. ;-)

Sounds like I may have to: 1 - Reinstall Samba and make sure I have the cups option compiled in.
First check your current version:
ldd `which smbd` | grep cups
should output something like
libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x4002f000)
Or, in Samba-3, use
smbd -b | grep -i cups
and look for
HAVE_CUPS
2 - Validate whcih vers of CUPS I am using. (IS there a way to do that?)
Thanks in advance,
Joe
