Printing from any smb client is impossible, because of a missing allow rule.
When trying to print, smbd reports the following error in syslog:

Adding the following rule fixes the problem:

allow smbd_t var_spool_t:dir search;

selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.18-17

How reproducible:

2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  Printing is denied

Expected Results:  Printing should work
