My Samba box consists of FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. It has samba version 2.2.7a compiled on 
it.

The problem i have is printing via windows machines to the samba print share.

the clients can 'print' ie send the data to the samba share where i have got samba 
setup to use bsd type printing. 

smb.conf lines are

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   writeable = no
   printable = yes
   printing = bsd


[lp]
 printable = yes
 browseable = yes
 print command = lpr -s -P %p %s; rm %s
 path = /tmp


I have configured lpd with the lines in /etc/printcap as

lp| Samsung Laser ML-4500:\
        :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
        :if=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:mx#0:


When the clients print to the printer via samba, the data does get to lpd but checking 
the logs it spurts out

--------------------------

Feb 15 19:30:51 print lpd[221]: lp: unable to open dfA011print.domain.com('f' line)
Feb 15 19:30:51 print lpd[221]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA011print.domain.com)
---------------------------


Does anyone want know what is going on and how to make it print out instead of saying 
this error message.

Many thanks


James Read.
