I have a Samba server running Redhat 9 with a laptop running FC4 and WinXP and another laptop with just WinXP. File sharing is working perfectly on all the computers. I can print from WinXP on the laptops, however I can't print from FC4. My smb.conf is

[global]

workgroup = TEST
server string = LINUX-SERVER
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

[shares]

path = /usr/shared
read only = no
public = yes

[printers]

path = /var/spool/samba
printer = raw
public = yes
printable = yes

Is there something I am missing. Should I be configuring it with CUPS instead? Point me in the right direction please.

CUPS might be better for FC4. I can't quite remember what i did to set up something similar. Anyway you need to edit cups.conf(?) on the server in /etc and allow certain IPs to connect to it. You also need to set up cups on the client...if i remember correctly it had something to do with adding a remote printer and writing ipp://. I got that ipp part by connecting to localhost:631 with a web browser and fiddling through the links
