NAME

cupsaddsmb − export printers to samba for windows clients

SYNOPSIS

cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] -a
cupsaddsmb
[ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] printer [ ... printer ]

DESCRIPTION

cupsaddsmb exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to export the printers. This program requires the Windows printer driver files described below.

The -H option specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.

The -U option specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your current username.

The -a option exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are exported.

The -h option specifies a different CUPS server to use.

The -v option specifies that verbose information should be shown and is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.

SAMBA CONFIGURATION

cupsaddsmb uses the new RPC-based printing support in SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines. In order to use this functionality, you must first configure SAMBA (via the smb.conf file) to support printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download share, as follows:

[global]

load printers = yes

printing = cups

printcap name = cups

[printers]

comment = All Printers

path = /var/spool/samba

browseable = no

public = yes

guest ok = yes

writable = no

printable = yes

printer admin = root

[print$]

comment = Printer Drivers

path = /etc/samba/drivers

browseable = yes

guest ok = no

read only = yes

write list = root

This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths accordingly on your system as needed.

MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS

The base driver for Windows 2000 and higher is the Microsoft PostScript driver, which is available on any system running Windows 2000 or higher in the %WINDOWS%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\3 folder.

The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Microsoft driver since it supports the page-label, job-billing, and job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However, currently only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the Microsoft driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients. The Adobe and Microsoft drivers for Windows 2000 are identical.

Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the files exactly as named below:

[Windows 2000 and higher]
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll

CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS

cupsaddsmb can use the CUPS v6 PostScript printer driver for Windows, which is available for download from the CUPS web site.

The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Adobe and Microsoft drivers since it supports the page-label, job-billing, and job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However, currently only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the CUPS driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.

Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the files exactly as named below:

[Windows 2000 and higher]
cupsui6.dll
cupsdrv6.dll
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll

ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS

cupsaddsmb can use the Adobe PostScript printer driver for Windows, which are available for download from the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com).

The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Adobe drivers since they support the page-label, job-billing, and job-hold-until options fully on all printers. You can use the Adobe drivers for Windows 9x and the CUPS drivers for Windows 2000 and higher. The Adobe and Microsoft drivers for Windows 2000 are identical.

Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the files exactly as named below:

[Windows 95, 98, and Me]
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
