Here are the parts of my smb.conf file that apply to printing
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
printing = bsd
<snip>
# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
.You need to create /var/spool/samba so they have someplace to be written
too. Also make sure you correctly
install the printers on the windows side. My Deskjet 560 the port in windows
is \\STAR\lp I used
Sams teach yourself Samba in 24 hours to help me understand how to set up
samba. Using your linux printer
is wonderful. You can send all the jobs to the printer and then shutdown
windows and they can print
all night. It is well worth the effort
