Re: printing to a Mac from Windows 98 does not work

I've made progress with this. Of sorts.

After setting "security = share", I can now connect to the printer from
both the Mac itself and from a Linux machine:

$ smbclient "//MINI/HP LaserJet 5L"

But, when I try to test printing, I get an error:

$ smbclient "//MINI/HP LaserJet 5L"
Password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10]
smb: \> print test.txt
Error writing file: NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
putting file test.txt as test.txt (0.0 kb/s) (average 0.0 kb/s)

Also, for some reason, after connecting, it seems that I am browsing /tmp:

smb: \> dir
. D 0 Mon May 22 07:34:13 2006

I have precisely the same behavior when connecting from my Windows 98-SE
machine -- I am still not able to print.

My printers entry in smb.conf has been simplified:

[printers]
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = no

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks.
