Redhat 8 Samba Printing


Hi all. I'm having problems getting shared printers working on Redhat 8. I can see the printer and connect to it using KDE's printing manager but I can't get it to print. The log files aren't showing anything. I think I'm not defining my printcap properly so I'm posting my smb.conf here. Thanks for taking a look!
[global]

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
domain master = True
printing = cups

invalid users = root

printcap name = /etc/printcap/
max log size = 1000
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
username level = 8
map to guest = Bad User
security = user
message command = /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/linpopup
server string = %h server (Samba %v)

[printers]

print command = lp -d %p -o raw %s; rm -f %s
create mask = 0700

[Laserjet]

Should I be using lpstat for the printcap? I've found some references to Redhat and that problem but I don't know if it's relevant to Redhat 8?

Well using lptstat as the printcap name didn't work. There has GOT to be someone on these forums that has a working Redhat Samba/CUPS setup.

Can I have this moved to Networking? Not getting any help in this forum and I notice most other Samba threads are in the Networking forum.
