samba printing


Having a little samba printing problem. I am able to connect to my file shares, but unable to print from Win98. I have run smbclinet //server/printshare and it prints fine. Here's a copy of my smb.conf file:

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = PENGUIN1
netbios name = DMSMB1
server string = Samba Server
encrypt passwords = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = No
domain master = No
dns proxy = No
printing = cups

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
printer name = deskjet_940C
browseable = No

[data]
path = /home/samba/data
read only = No

[music]
path = /var/ftp/pub/music
read only = No

[deskjet_940C]
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
printable = Yes
printer name = deskjet_940C
oplocks = Yes

When I do a test print from Win98, it pops op the Printer test page Completed! message.

Any thoughts, ideas, direction on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

When setting up a printer on a windows system set it up as an apple post script 600. Cups takes the postscript and turns it into something that you printer can understand. From the linux server you can print right?

Did you try to setup an apple postscript 600 on //servername/lpo

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
; printing = cups

# This option tells cups that the data has already been rasterized
cups options = raw

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
printable = yes
