I had the same version and the same problems.

remove in the samba configuration the lines that piont to the use of any
passwordprogramm.
 To print without using maually lpr, I don't know what the problem is but I
fixed it by re-installing the files, and -whala- it works.

I was mistaken on the version I gave you for my muLinux. According to the
version file in /etc I have version 7r12b. I tried changing my guest
account to root, but then my windows machine kept asking for a password.
Still can only print using a manual lpr command. I suppose I could use
CRON, but that seems a little clunky to me. -Dave.

print server from an old 486 machine we had sitting around the office. I've
gotten muLinux up and running ok, and can even the box it on my network. I
am using SMB to share a couple of printers and can print to a spool
directory from a Windows environment, but for some reason or another I can't
seem to get the file to the printer..... Any help on this would be
great! -Dave.

Please, very important point to me: what's the release number?

Check the file /etc/samba/base. Do you see the (very ugly) row

guest account = root ?
