For some reason, it seems that Samba isn't transferring print files to 
the print queue.  I'm at a bit of a loss because I have another SuSE 9.0 
box configured basically the same way (Different domain name) and it 
works great!  Basically, both pdf-distiller shares shown below come up 
in network neighborhood just fine, and I can connect to the print shares 
just fine.  Everything works great until I send a job to one of the 
print shares.

When I send a job to either pdf-distiller print share, I get no error 
messages, and no PDF file.  The [pdf-distiller-debug] share is 
configured to add log entries whenever a job is sent.  That log file 
DOES get updated, but no print file appears in /var/spool/samba/pdf to 
be processed by Ghostscript.  The spool directory is chmod'ed at 777 so 
it shouldn't be a permissions issue, and I'm using the standard Apple 
postscript driver on the WinXP side.

As mentioned earlier, I have another box configured (I think) exactly 
the same way and it's working great.  I've been ripping my hair out 
trying to figure out why this isn't working here.  If I had an error 
message I would have a place to start, but I don't even have that.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!
