.....I'm looking for a solution to print PDfs from windows clients directly. ie no opening of Adobe Acrobat reader. Since the proposed install includes a Linux box, I'm wondering if I can't just use CUPS as a printer server for the various printers?
The other alternative is an icky windows client install of ghostscript and redmon or some such.
Ok well this is not a Linux+CUPS solution but I'm using CutePDF writer which provides a "PDF printer" for Windows. It's easy to setup (easier than redmon) and licence is good.
