Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C4500 supports postscript and has a manufacture ppd so there are no issues like that here
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Ricoh/Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C4500 the Canon imageRunner also has supported drivers. the whole point of using CUPS is to get rid of the broken drivers in the first place all PPD options are passed though to the windows client http://svn.easysw.com/public/windows/trunk/x64/ http://svn.easysw.com/public/windows/trunk/i386/ Scanning to email ( configure the printer to read from LDAP) and network scanning use SANE windows print drivers can do either because there not related to printing. try it and see how you go it can't do any harm. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Suarez [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 May 2010 16:10 To: Damien J Dye Cc: Nick Couchman; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba + CUPS Nick Couchman wrote: >>>> On 2010/05/20 at 13:43, Damien J Dye <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >> Why are you not using the cups printer drivers in the cups enviroment there >> are both x64 and i386 versions and gets round the issues with broken drivers >> and allows cups features to be passed to windows. >> > > There are several "special" function of my printers (networked copiers, actually) that need to be supported, and I don't believe the CUPS driver contains this support. Things like sending the printout to a storage box on the copier that waits for someone to walk up and print it (Mailbox/Document Server), duplexing, hole punching, stapling, N-up, etc. I have not tried the CUPS printer drivers, yet, so perhaps these features get passed through, but some of those features aren't even present in the PPD file that I use for CUPS. +1, generic cups drivers may not support all the features available for a given printer. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
