My problem is, when I try to print I get the error "job could not > be printed". What am I doing wrong. It is hard to tell without more detailed info. Is the NT printer shared? where are you using samba to access the shared printer? Are the username/ password correct? Is samba properly configured? I am using a modified version of smbprint (look at /usr/local/share/examples/samba/printing/) which uses magicfilter and then feeds the output of the filter to smbclient. What you need to do if adapt smbprint to your needs and then configure it as the input filter of your printer (if= field in the printcap).
