[FreeNX-kNX] Printer and file sharing via smb

Fri Feb 29 14:39:05 UTC 2008

Hi,

I have it working in a test setup. I will be replicating the same in a  
different system within the next couple of weeks.

Did you recompile Samba with what Fabian mentioned during our  
discussion and change the smbspool program in the cups backend (I  
think it is a symlink) to refer to the newly compiled binary?
