Actually, I made some headway.. I found that we had an old setting for
"disable spoolss = yes" in place. Removing that allowed things to get a
tiny bit forward. I'm not seeing much logged, but I am getting "Test
page failed to print" ... "Access is denied." from the windows side.
The Windows box successfully gets the driver as supplied by the samba
server, so I know that part is working. I'm just not sure what the
"Access is denied." is referring to...
