Thanks Geoff,

	That was a lifesaver. Creating /etc/cups/ssl and setting permissions to root:lp
(chown root:lp /etc/cups/ssl) and then restarting cups fixed my remote print
problem.

	When samba 3.2.5 and the latest cups were installed, the Arch packages did not
create the /etc/cups/ssl directory. Comparing the /etc/cups directory on Arch to
the /etc/cups dir on suse, it looks like suse has the following directories
included:

[23:09 alchemy:/etc/cups] # l1
interfaces
ppd
ssl
yes

	while Arch has:

[23:10 nirvana:/etc/cups] # ls -1
ppd

	which now requires adding the 'ssl' directory. I don't know if 'interfaces' or
'yes' makes any difference, but 'ssl' sure does for remote printing.

Thanks again!
