> Synopsis: SambaPrinter Queue Problem

> Hardware Configuration:
> Micron Millenia P200, Nec 860 SS Laser Printer(Hp Laser Jet II
> Compatible) on Lpt1

> I like OL 1.3 and am evaluating it instead of Winnt. However I have had
> great difficulty making printing work, first locally and now from a
> Win95 machine that I have connected. The permissions settings for the
> spool files I have found to be extremely finicky to set up and maintain.

> The Win95 machine can see the printer through Network Neighbourhood and
> I can install the printer. When I try to print it is detected by Samba
> in the KDE network utility and there is a job number. There is a file in

> the spool directory with tjhe job number name. It looks like a gear
> wheel if that is of any help.

> It does not print.

> I have attached the printcap file and the Samba conf file for info.

> In the printcap two printers are detected a ps and a raw, Which I
> created. Do I need both
> or will one do?

> Please let me know where I am going wrong. I have studied How-Tos and
> Usenet postings without coming up with a clear answer other than it
> could be a file permissions problem
