Everyone (or maybe just samba) needs write permission to the directory specified by "path" in the "[printers]" section of smb.conf. I simply use /tmp as the path since it is used only to store the data long enough to run 'lp' on it (or 'lpr' or whatever command you have specified) then it is deleted. -D
