# 2. Printing Options: # CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK # (as cups is now used in linux-mandrake 7.2 by default) # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups printing = cups Regards Chris On Thu, 13 Dec 2001 00:09:06 +1100 "Jeff Waugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <quote who="Steve Kowalik"> > > > At 11:12 pm, Wednesday, December 12 2001, Jeff Waugh mumbled: > > > So, from reading the documentation for new versions of SAMBA, it sounds like > > > you can simply put "printing = cups" into smb.conf and let SAMBA sort out > > > which printers are available from CUPS. > > > > Well, from what I read when I ran CUPS, you still had to add the printers > > yourself, but since CUPS evidently doesn't like the BSD commands, you need > > other ways of printing. > > cupsys-bsd (Debian) provides the bsd-style printing compatibility. > > According to <http://www.cups.org/sam.html#8_6>, the cups stuff is > automagic.
