Jay:
I ran YaST Online Update on my 9.1 yesterday and there was
an update for either Ghostwriter or CUPS that was specific
to the Epson Stylus series printers. As I recall the
update was needed to print from LINUX to these Epsons.
Samba of course uses the LINUX/CUPS printing system.
Be sure to use YaST to setup the printers as it is specific
to SUSE LINUX. I've tried the CUPS Web Management but had
mixed results with SUSE. It may be just fine for say
debian.org 's LINUX. Those problems went away when I used
YaST for printer setup.
/etc/samba/smb.conf is directly modified by YaST so it may
not be wise to modify it directly, again YaST can do alot.
If necessary you can do local and specialized changes
using files named smb.conf.<some name> which will not be
touched by YaST. See http://www.samba.org/ documentation
section or the book "Using Samba 2ed" by Ts, Eckstein,
Collier-Brown ,2003, Chapter 7 The Samba Configuration File
and Chapter 10 Printing.
