   A Samba print server is configured with 'printing = cups' and 'use client driver = yes'. A Windows client connects to the printer and installs the driver. However, when the user prints, the job is sent to the Samba server but fails with a 'spooling error'. The CUPS queue is working correctly when printing from other clients. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe 'path' parameter in the [printers] section is not writable by the Samba user, so the spool file cannot be created.
   • BThe 'use client driver' parameter is set to 'yes', which prevents Samba from converting the data to a CUPS-compatible format.
   • CThe 'print command' parameter is set to 'lp -o raw', which bypasses CUPS filters and causes the spooling error.
   • DThe client's driver is sending data in a format that CUPS cannot process, such as a proprietary PDL.

   A company runs a Samba server that provides file shares to Windows clients. They want to add a shared printer that is managed by CUPS. The CUPS queue is named 'sales_printer'. The administrator adds a [printers] section to smb.conf with 'printing = cups' and 'print command = lpr -r -P%p %s'. However, when a Windows client sends a print job, it appears in the CUPS queue but never gets printed. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe CUPS queue must be shared with a separate [sales_printer] section instead of using the [printers] wildcard.
   • BThe 'print command' parameter overrides CUPS' native spooling and causes the job to be submitted incorrectly.
   • CThe [printers] section is missing the 'path' parameter, so Samba cannot create the spool directory.
   • DThe 'printing = cups' parameter requires 'use client driver = yes' to be set for Windows clients.
