And excellent article is available at http://www.mandrakeforum.com, Cups server FAQ 1 and 2. Basically within the /etc/smb.conf file section on printers you must specify the print command as to how the Windows client sets their printers. --------------------------------------------------- # NOTE: If you have a CUPS print system there is no need to # specifically define each individual printer. # You must configure the samba printers as "Generic PostScript Printer" # on your Windows clients. # If you wish to configure the printers directly on the Windows clients # (i.e. use the windows drivers on the clients) you must swap the # 'print command' line below with the commented one. [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browse able = yes # to allow user 'guest account' to print. guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 # ===================================== # print command: see above for details. # ===================================== print command = /usr/bin/lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s # using client side printer drivers. # print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic PostScript on clients). lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat -o %p lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j ---------------------------------------------------------- Hope this helps Larry -- Sword'sEdge VoiceMail/Fax: (858) 860-6406 x1587
