[hylafax-users] Fax from Samba

["Andrew" <drewdesign@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for your help but.. no luck.
I changed the printcap to usr/spool/lpd:\
and the smb.conf to     path = /var/spool/lpd/lp
Question: do I need to create those directories because they don't exist? Or
will it create them? I'm new to Linux forgive me if these are stupid
questions.
thanks
