Samba on SCO 5.0.7

[wlj@elmore.rr.com]

I installed the version of Samba included on the media kit.
Everything works great with the exception of printing. We need to
print to printers connected to Windows machines from the UNIX server.
I can manually connect to the printer and print with smbclient and I
can even extract the print script from smbprint to print an individual
file, but I have not had any luck printing from lp.

Test print script that works:

echo print /etc/hosts | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\Workstation1\\HPPHOTO"
-U Workstation1 -N -P >> /tmp/smb-print.log

1. Installed rlp in UNIX
2. Added a remote printer (had to select the Windows machine)
3. Add a .config file to /var/spool/lpd/PRINTER2 directory, contains:
server=Workstation1
service=HPPHOTO
password=""
4. Edited the /etc/printcap as follows:
PRINTER2:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PRINTER2:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint
5. Edited /usr/bin/smbprint as follows:
#eval acct_file=\${$#}
spool_dir=/var/spool/lpd/PRINTER2
config_file=$spool_dir/.config
6. smb.conf
[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browsable = No
[PRINTER2]
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = PRINTER2
use client driver = Yes
oplocks = No

Has anyone had any luck with this? Any help will be appreciated!

Lance Justiss

check write permissions on /var/spool/samba (they are iirc incorrect as
pr. install).
