Hello all, I've gotten the printing subsytem almost working - I think. I am
able to install my print drivers to the server IAW the instructions found
here: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/printing.html
The drivers are being installed to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86 IAW
/etc/samba/smb.conf by following the instructions above
This line specifically seems to do it:
[print$]
path = /etc/samba/drivers
This shows up in my windows client as \\server\print$\W32X86\3
The printers show up in \\server\Printers. However, although I can right
click the printer the printer and get the "properties box to pop up, I cannot
get the Test Page to print. I get the error:
Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print trouble shooter
for assistance? Access is denied.
Also, these strange errors show up in /var/log/samba/

.... ad infinitum
The spooling dir has permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root bin 512 Nov 12 16:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root bin 512 Aug 28 11:39 ..
Can anyone point me in the right direction to solving this. It feels like a
permissions issue somehow. I've included an edited smb.conf file.
Let me know if more information would be helpful:
