Which printing mnechansim works best with Samba? CUPS or BSD?

CUPS. libcups.so is linked into Samba (if configured with this -- default -- option). CUPS is also much more advanced and feature-rich than BSD.


I suspect
that BSD support in Samba is not the greatest.


Don't blame Samba for that.... ;-)


The reason is, that BSD-printing doesn't support much by itself. ;-)

Sounds like I may have to:
1 - Reinstall Samba and make sure I have the cups option compiled in.

First check your current version:


ldd `which smbd` | grep cups

should output something like

libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x4002f000)

Or, in Samba-3, use

smbd -b | grep -i cups

and look for

HAVE_CUPS

2 - Validate whcih vers of CUPS I am using. (IS there a way to do that?)

Thanks in advance,

Joe
