Samba Printing

[David Lodeiro]

A couple of days ago I set up my printer on my FreeBSD server and set it up so 
I could print from my FreeBSD client. This all works very well, printing from 
botht the server and the FBSD client. However, I also have samba set up for 
file serving with my dads XP box. I have been trying for quite some time now 
to set samba up to enable me to print from the XP client. My situation at the 
moment is that the XP client can detect the printer in explorer, I can set up 
a printer to print to it without any errors, however when I go to print a 
test page, nothing happens. No errors, no printout.

I started the smbd and nmbd demons with debugger set to 10 to see if I could 
find something out

Firstly , this is the relevent part of my printcap

Canoni850|bjc800;r=600x600;q=photo;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/Canoni850:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/Canoni850/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/Canoni850/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
I can print from FBSD using lpr -P Canoni850 filename

here is the relvant section from smb.conf
[global[
   load printers = yes

   use client driver = yes

   show add printer wizard

[printers]
   comment = Canon i850
   path = /var/spool/lpd/samba
   browseable = yes
   printable = yes
   public = yes

File sharing on with this smb.conf works without any problems
my /var/spool/lpd directory contains the directories = Canoni850  lp  & samba   
all with r w x permisions and the sticky bit

if I have path = /var/spool/lpd/Canoni850

I get the following in log.smbd

[2003/08/11 22:23:08, 7] param/loadparm.c:lp_servicenumber(3612)
  lp_servicenumber: couldn't find Canoni850
[2003/08/11 22:23:08, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_printer(2062)
  adding printer service Canoni850

and then I read that your not meant to set the path to that that unix printing 
uses and saw an example where it sets it to samba

with the path as it is in my current smb.conf I get the following in log.smbd 
when I go to print from XP

And still nothing comes out of my printer , and nothing is present in my lpq 
on the server. Does anyone now what is going on in my log?

sorry about the long post

Thanks
