  25 .SH NAME
  26 cupsaddsmb \- export printers to samba for windows clients
  27 .SH SYNOPSIS
  28 .B cupsaddsmb

  37 .SH DESCRIPTION
  38 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR exports printers to the SAMBA software (version
  39 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the
  40 SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to
  41 export the printers. This program requires the Adobe PostScript
  42 printer driver files described below.
  43 .LP
  44 The \fI-a\fR option exports all known printers. Otherwise, only
  45 the named printers are exported.
  46 .LP
  47 The \fI-U\fR option specifies the print admin username which defaults
  48 to your current username.
  49 .LP
  50 The \fI-v\fR option specifies that verbose information should be
  51 shown and is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
  52 .SH SAMBA CONFIGURATION
  53 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the new RPC-based printing support in
  54 SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows
  55 client machines. In order to use this functionality, you must
  56 first configure SAMBA (via the smb.conf file) to support
  57 printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download
  58 share, as follows:
  59 .nf
  60
  61     [global]
  62         load printers = yes
  63         printing = cups
  64         printcap name = cups
  65
  66     [printers]
  67         comment = All Printers
  68         path = /var/spool/samba
  69         browseable = no
  70         public = yes
  71         guest ok = yes
  72         writable = no
  73         printable = yes
  74         printer admin = root
  75
  76     [print$]
  77         comment = Printer Drivers
  78         path = /etc/samba/drivers
  79         browseable = yes
  80         guest ok = no
  81         read only = yes
  82         write list = root
  83 .fi
  84 .LP
  85 This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of
  86 SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths
  87 accordingly on your system as needed.
  88 .SH ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
  89 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for
  90 Windows, which are available for download from the Adobe web
  91 site (http://www.adobe.com). Once you have extracted the driver
  92 files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory
  93 (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the Adobe files using
  94 UPPERCASE filenames, as follows:
  95 .nf
  96
  97     ADFONTS.MFM
  98     ADOBEPS4.DRV
  99     ADOBEPS4.HLP
 100     ADOBEPS5.DLL
 101     ADOBEPSU.DLL
 102     ADOBEPSU.HLP
 103     DEFPRTR2.PPD
 104     ICONLIB.DLL
 105     PSMON.DLL
 106 .fi
