I've had a look in the log file, it appears to be a permissions problem. The log entry is:
[2003/01/30 09:50:23, 0] printing/printing.c:print_job_start(951) print_job_start: insufficient permissions to open spool file /var/spool/cups/tmp/smbprn.000027.SRAafA. What do I need to change in smb.conf? (the /var/spool/cup/tmp dir is owned by lp:sys with drwx-----T ) Thanks, Jamie -------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ITS Internal Extension : 5806 Direct Dial : 0870 754 5806 -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Anne Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 January 2003 10:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Sharing printers via SAMBA On Thursday 30 Jan 2003 10:03 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > It has almost got me going.

Question to gurus - is this a permission problem, a master-browser type problem, or something else? Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
