I recently managed to get my parallel port printer shared via samba+cups. In addition to ensuring that the spool directory exists, make the following changes and see if it helps : 11,12c11 < printing = bsd < printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups --- > printing = cups 137c136 < writable = no --- > writable = yes 140,145d138 < [EpsonInk] < comment = Epson Stylus Color 880 < path = /var/spool/cups/tmp/ < writable = yes < printable = yes < printer name = EpsonInk
