<para>Each significant release of Samba goes through a significant exposure test before it's announced. In addition, it is quickly updated afterward if problems or unwanted side-effects are found. The latest stable distribution as of this writing is Samba 2.0.5, the long-awaited production version of Samba 2.0. This book focuses on the functionality supported in Samba 2.0, as opposed to the older 1.9.<emphasis>x</emphasis> versions of Samba, which are now obsolete.</para>

-<para>Second, try the command <literal>testprns</literal> <replaceable>printername</replaceable>. This is a simple program that verifies that the specified printer is available in your <emphasis>printcap</emphasis> file. If your <emphasis>printcap</emphasis> file is not in the usual place, you can specify its full pathname as the second argument to the <emphasis>testprns</emphasis> command:</para>
-
-
-<programlisting># testprns lp /etc/printcap
-Looking for printer lp in printcap file /etc/printcap
-Printer name lp is valid.</programlisting>

<para>Next, log on as the guest user, go to the spooling directory, and ensure that you can print using the same command that <emphasis>testparm</emphasis> says Samba will use. As mentioned before, this will tell you if you need to change the guest account, as the default account may not be allowed to print.</para>
