That's no good.  Here's parts of my smb.conf :


[global]
    printing = cups
    load printers = yes

;
; A "magic" section.
;
[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    available = yes
    ; spool dir
    directory = /tmp
    printable = yes
    public = yes
    writable = yes
    create mode = 0666
    browseable = yes

    guest ok = yes
    guest account = nobody


I tried this and it still doesn't see the printer. The only time the
printer shows up on the windows box is when I add the 'printcap name =
/etc/printcap.cups' line to the global area. Then of course, its saying
'Access denied'.

I did get it to work by changing the rights and group on /var/spool/cups
to 777 and group lp and added users to lp. But anytime cups is restarted
it changes the rights back and group to sys.
