I have/had the same problem - couldn't print to the Samba shared printer
until I found in the
"Handbook" a couple of line of code that were missing in my smb.conf....
[printers]
comment = Guttenburgs Pride
printable = yes
printing = BSD
printcap name = /etc/printcap
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
path = /var/spool/samba
min print space = 2000
public = yes
I've got a printcap setting that uses a "pass-through" filter.....
Windows provides the drivers that talk to the printer correctly. BSD
need only pass the bytes through.
