 Hi,

 I am using samba-3.0.1-pre1 on a RedHat9 system, with CUPS 1.1.17.
 
 Did anyone out there manage to get lpoptions working on a Samba printer
 queue? Any other suggestion to setup a 2-up printer queue with samba?

The jobs would need to arrive at the Samba server in postscript,
preferably from the 'cups driver'.  (CUPS publishes a postscript driver
for windows that is designed to work with with a cups print chain).

RE: [Samba] samba3 and CUPS: lpoptions does not work

[Gonçal]

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that, but I am actually using using
cups-samba-1.1.19 as you suggest. The cups-postscript drivers are
downloading automatically to the clients. Everything works perfectly,
except for the fact that I don't get 2-up printing to work :-(

I suspect that when the job comes from the samba side, the options
applied to the queue with lpoptions are not actually enforced. The other
obvious possibility is that I have not configured the queue properly
(what did I do wrong?).

Basically, the way I did this is:
- Set up a plain CUPS queue and export it to samba with cupsaddsmb
(everything works as expected)
- Repeat the same steps as above for a second queue, pointing to the
same printer. I then ran lpoptions -d NX2-118_2up -o number-up=2 and
after that I ran cupsaddsmb.

The new que (NX2-118_2up) works alright (i.e. 2-up printing) from Linux,
but prints 1-up from samba :-(

By the way, is there any way to access CUPS printer instances (e.g.
NX2-118/2up) from samba?

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance!
