[TriLUG] HOWTO: Create PDFs using Samba but not CUPS

Thanks Steve, but it doesn't look like I'm missing anything in my
config.  I saved a copy of mine, pasted yours in, changed name, domain
and ip to match mine, and still nada.  I'm going to try again in the
morning with the same setup after I re-review it all to make sure I
have a match (which I'm sure I have).

I'm on CentOS 4.2 and the highest available supported samba is
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2 via up2date or yum.  I noticed yours was slightly
higher, but I can't imagine it's that big of a difference.  I turned
off iptables and my windows firewalls to test as well with no change. 
*shrugs*  Any SMB expert care to jump in?  I'm baffled as to why I'm
not getting a value in %U.  Steve doesn't appear to be doing any auth,
and I'm not doing any auth.  (Steve, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

later,
David
