Hi
I have a CUPS server in a mixed Linux/Windows environment. In the past I
have used Samba and cupsaddsmb to have the CUPS/Samba server provide
drivers to Windows clients. In recent years all sorts of weirdness has
crept into this setup (peculiar page sizes in Windows, unable to change
page size preferences etc) so decided to move to IPP
(http://cupsserver:631/printers/printername). However, it looks like I
need to set up raw queues for the Windows machines to use, otherwise for
some printers there appears to be a mismatch in what CUPS advertises as
printer characteristics and what Windows thinks they should be (this
occurs for older printers where Windows has its own drivers - it simply
refuses to connect to the IPP printer at the Add Printer stage). Setting
up a raw queue overcomes this.
So the question is, can I have a raw and a non-raw version of the same
printer? I don't think just setting up separate printer queues cuts it,
as I would think that has the potential for jobs getting garbled at the
backend.
Cheers
Tim
