[Samba] CUPS integration does not work properly when not linked

[Florian Effenberger]

I have a Samba 3.0.6 server and a CUPS 1.2.0 server running on my machine.
They have been compiled with:
Samba:
./configure --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-quotas --with-sys-quotas
CUPS:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cups --with-cups-user=cups --with-cups-
group=cups --with-docdir=/usr/local/cups/docdir --with-
logdir=/usr/local/cups/logdir --with-rcdir=/usr/local/cups/rcdir 
--enable-ssl

As you can see, CUPS lies in an unusual path, so Samba did NOT see the cups-
config file and was NOT linked to CUPS. Your documentation states that even
without linking it should work fine, however, it doesn't.
/etc/printcap contains:
===
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /usr/local/cups/etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.
Kyocera_FS-3750|Kyocera_FS-3750:rm=flux:rp=Kyocera_FS-3750:

This is the printer I set up via CUPS. I can print to it using the CUPS web
interface (print test page).
My /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf looks like:
===
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.10.105 (192.168.10.105)
# Date: 2004/09/08 17:58:00
# Global parameters

        queuepause command = /usr/local/cups/bin/disable %p

(and then some file shares follow)

I cannot see the CUPS printers in my list (using Windows and smbclient). 
There
is no chance to print with my Windows clients.
