Right you are about the pass-through. I read from a webpage where there was used a printcap entry with "raw" -driver. I understand it accomplishes the same as the pass-through filter. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've done some more digging, and found the following to put into the samba configuration file. smb.conf: print command = "/usr/bin/lpr -P%S /var/spool/samba/%s; /bin/rm /var/spool/samba/%s; /bin/echo %T %U %M %I %a %S>> /var/spool/samba/smbprint.log" Which, ofcourse, keeps appending to the file, so one might want to logrotate it. So now it is working. Hope this helps others who have struggled to get it work. Oh, and by the way, samba version is 2.2.8a.
