I use Cups here and the install has been with out fail. Some oddities with XP but I figure that is cause I am not forking the doe out, no worries thou, it all works fabulously well. I have Caldera 3.1.1 with CUPS 1.1.19. Also with the smb My suggestion is to use these settings:
[global] printer admin = karl printing = cups printcap name = lpstat (this is the proper one per some cups document I read) load printers = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes browseable = no public = yes writable = no printable = yes printer admin = (user or @group name) If you would like to add drivers put this in: [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /etc/samba.d/drivers (path were driver will be located) guest ok = no write list = (user or @group name) writable = no browsable = yes Review this for the right directories to setup and the cool cups utility to add drivers. A little time is required and so smooth when done. http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#CUPS Hope that assists you.
