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
Kurt

Without any other requirements listed, I'd say CUPS.  CUPS also support
BSD ;)
