RE: [Samba] CUPS postscript driver - setting up **ERRATA**
Subject: [Samba] CUPS postscript driver - setting up **ERRATA** [Samba] CUPS postscript driver - setting up **ERRATA** Chris Aitken chris at ion-dreams.com Thu Jan 29 12:14:02 GMT 2004 Hi All, Following instructions from here: http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/CUPS-printing.html#id2942237 and also in the Official Samba Howto book, I tried to install the CUPS PS driver using cupsaddsmb. It failed due to various reasons, and then I finally got it to work. When I unpacked the latest tar.gz file (cups-samba-5.0rc3.tar.gz) it doesn't unpack the files as: cupsdrvr.dll cupsui.dll cups.hlp but as cupsdrv5.dll(5 instead of r) cupsui5.dll (extra 5) cups5.hlp (extra 5). That version 5 of the CUPS PostScript Driver is not (yet) meant to be used with cupsaddsmb. (Unfortunately its docu doesn't make that really clear). It is meant to be used by the CUPS IPP Client for Win NT/2K/XP (which allows driver and printer installation on the clients without and independently of Samba. Also, it is a version 3 driver (non-Kernel mode), IIRC (but I might err). I was wondering whether it was a version 3 driver or not - either way, cupsaddsmb stuff it into W32X86\2\, as a kernel mode driver. It works though - once the files are renamed (after untarring).

The other one is to use the smbclient..., rpcclient...adddriver and rpcclientsetdriver series of commands to upload and register the driver files into [print$] of Samba.
