I have an Epson printer connected to a linux box (SuSE 7.3). I can print locally with no problems. I have Samba running on the linux box and file sharing works fine, but the printing does not. When I try to print a test page from a networked Win2K box to the printer on the linux box, it fails. The windows machine actually reports the test page printed fine, but an email gets sent to the root account with an error message. Here is the message:

Here is what my /etc/printcap file looks like:

Here is the printer section in my smb.conf file:

[epson]
comment = Epson Printer
security = user
path = /var/spool/lpd/y2prn_lp.upp--auto-lp
printer name = lp
writable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s

Does anyone know what could be happening??
