Finally, I've found the problem.

If you want to use an USB printer you have to force the printer module
loading and set the device printer correctly. So these are the entries
for a client configuration file:

...
MODULES=3D'printer'
export MODULES
LOCAL_PRINTER_DEVICE=3D'/dev/usb/lp0'
export LOCAL_PRINTER_DEVICE
...

Also, if you want to share it through SAMBA with a "share" policy, you
have to set the guest account to "root" or have a way to change the
printer usb device file permissions in order to allow the mapped guest
account (usually "nobody") to write in this device file. So in
the /etc/samba/smb.conf.tpl it should appear:

...
guest account =3D root
...

I don't like to use the root account but it's the easiest way and we're
talking about a "read-only" client.

Suggestions are welcome.

Ciao.
