A suggestion for people using Lprng and having problems is to check
out the Lprng mailing list (10-20 messages a day - see the doc
dir. for info). I joined a few weeks ago and they have covered this
problem (Samba) and many others; and Patrick Powell (the author) is
extremely helpful in fixing problems and adding new features - this is
perhaps yet another good reason to switch to Lprng (how much new
development is occurring with lpr ?),
