The printer side is solved.  The [printers] in smb.conf pointed
to /usr/spool/samba but the queue is at /var/spool/samba.  Totally
missed that last week.  One down one to go.  Will work on the selinux
changes when I get back into the office later.  I want to take my time
over that. I'm totally unfamiliar with the selinux side of things.
