CUPS, Foiled Again

Hey all,

I upgraded a server to Slackware 14.2 and printing from workstations is
largely hosed. CUPS was so broken I used the HP Device Manager to install
the printer. That allowed local printing. After fighting with Samba I was
able to print off of a Mac Book but not a Windows workstation. Windows
(both 7 and 10) was able to see the printer and eventually I was prompted
to enter a login and (smb) password. However, printing failed silently.

I tried a number of options described by the documentation but nothing
seemed to work.

If anyone has an smb.conf with security set to share (on slack 14.2) please
post it - I was forced to use 'security = user' which is causing my users
problems.

Thanks!
