24.TH cupsaddsmb 8 "Common UNIX Printing System" "18 September 2001" "Easy Software Products"
25.SH NAME
26cupsaddsmb \- export printers to samba for windows clients
27.SH SYNOPSIS
28.B cupsaddsmb
29[ -a ]
30.br
31.B cupsaddsmb
32[ printer1 ... printerN ]
33.SH DESCRIPTION
34\fIcupsaddsmb\fR exports printers to the SAMBA software (version
352.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the
36SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to
37export the printers. This program requires the Adobe PostScript
38printer driver files described below.
39.LP
40The \fI-a\fR option exports all known printers. Otherwise, only
41the named printers are exported.
42.SH SAMBA CONFIGURATION
43\fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the new RPC-based printing support in
44SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows
45client machines. In order to use this functionality, you must
46first configure SAMBA (via the smb.conf file) to support
47printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download
48share, as follows:
49.nf
50
51 [global]
52 load printers = yes
53 printing = cups
54 printcap name = cups
55
56 [printers]
57 comment = All Printers
58 path = /var/spool/samba
59 browseable = no
60 public = yes
61 guest ok = yes
62 writable = no
63 printable = yes
64 printer admin = root
65
66 [print$]
67 comment = Printer Drivers
68 path = /etc/samba/drivers
69 browseable = yes
70 guest ok = no
71 read only = yes
72 write list = root
73.fi
74.LP
75This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of
76SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths
77accordingly on your system as needed.
78.SH ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
79\fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for
80Windows, which are available for download from the Adobe web
81site (http://www.adobe.com). Once you have extracted the driver
82files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory
83(usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the Adobe files using
84UPPERCASE filenames, as follows:
85.nf
86
87 ADFONTS.MFM
88 ADOBEPS4.DRV
89 ADOBEPS4.HLP
90 ADOBEPS5.DLL
91 ADOBEPSU.DLL
92 ADOBEPSU.HLP
93 DEFPRTR2.PPD
94 ICONLIB.DLL
95 PSMON.DLL
96.fi
