Hi,
Appreciate the answer, but to my understanding, the two spool
directories need to be separate. From the samba documentation:
"Successful printing from a Windows client via a Samba print server to a
UNIX printer involves six (potentially seven) stages:
3.Windows sends a copy of the print file over the network into Samba's
spooling area.
5. Samba invokes the print command to hand the file over to the UNIX
print subsystem's spooling area."
I am naturally with admin priviledges on windows side.
I am though almost certain it is some little configuration err.
As always.
Mikko
