cupsys-bsd (Debian) provides the bsd-style printing compatibility. According to <http://www.cups.org/sam.html#8_6>, the cups stuff is automagic. But this document <http://www.buberel.org/linux/cups-samba.php> implies that you have to use the bsd-compatible stuff as well, which is what I'm doing at the moment (same setup, looking over it again). Is the automagic stuff all total bollocks, or am I expecting too much automagic? :) [ With only printing = cups, no printers appear. With the rest of it, printers appear as normal. I'm starting to think my expectations are too high, and the cups.org document is wrong. ] - Jeff -- "And that's what it sounds like if you *download* it!" - John, They Might Be Giants -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
