  45 .SH DESCRIPTION
  46 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR exports printers to the SAMBA software (version
  47 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the
  48 SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to
  49 export the printers. This program requires the Windows printer
  50 driver files described below.
  51 .SH OPTIONS
  52 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR supports the following options:
  53 .TP 5
  54 -H samba-server
  55 .br
  56 Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
  57 .TP 5
  58 -U samba-user[%samba-password]
  59 .br
  60 Specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your
  61 current username. If the username contains a percent (%)
  62 character, then the text following the percent is treated as the
  63 SAMBA password to use.
  64 .TP 5
  65 -a
  66 .br
  67 Exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are
  68 exported.
  69 .TP 5
  70 -h cups-server[:port]
  71 Specifies a different CUPS server to use.
  72 .TP 5
  73 -v
  74 Specifies that verbose information should be shown. This is
  75 useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
  76 .SH SAMBA CONFIGURATION
  77 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the new RPC-based printing support in
  78 SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows
  79 client machines. In order to use this functionality, you must
  80 first configure the SAMBA \fIsmb.conf(5)\fR file to support
  81 printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download
  82 share, as follows:
  83 .nf
  84
  85     [global]
  86         load printers = yes
  87         printing = cups
  88         printcap name = cups
  89
  90     [printers]
  91         comment = All Printers
  92         path = /var/spool/samba
  93         browseable = no
  94         public = yes
  95         guest ok = yes
  96         writable = no
  97         printable = yes
  98         printer admin = root
  99
 100     [print$]
 101         comment = Printer Drivers
 102         path = /etc/samba/drivers
 103         browseable = yes
 104         guest ok = no
 105         read only = yes
 106         write list = root
 107 .fi
 108 .LP
 109 This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of
 110 SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths
 111 accordingly on your system as needed.

 113 .SH MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
 114 The base driver for Windows 2000 and higher is the Microsoft
 115 PostScript driver, which is available on any system running
 116 Windows 2000 or higher in the
 117 %WINDOWS%\\SYSTEM32\\SPOOL\\DRIVERS\\W32X86\\3 folder.
 118 .LP
 119 The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Microsoft driver
 120 since it supports the page-label, job-billing, and
 121 job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However, currently
 122 only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the Microsoft
 123 driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support
 124 Windows 95, 98, and Me clients. The Adobe and Microsoft drivers
 125 for Windows 2000 are identical.
 126 .LP
 127 Once you have extracted the driver files, copy them to the
 128 \fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory exactly as named below:
 129 .nf
 130
 131     [Windows 2000 and higher]
 132     ps5ui.dll
 133     pscript.hlp
 134     pscript.ntf
 135     pscript5.dll
 136 .fi
 137
 138 .SH CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
 139 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR can use the CUPS v6 PostScript printer driver
 140 for Windows, which is available for download from the CUPS web
 141 site.
 142 .LP
 143 The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Adobe and
 144 Microsoft drivers since it supports the page-label, job-billing,
 145 and job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However,
 146 currently only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the CUPS
 147 driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support
 148 Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
 149 .LP
 150 Once you have extracted the driver files, copy them to the
 151 \fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory exactly as named below:
 152 .nf
 153
 154     [Windows 2000 and higher]
 155     cups6.ini
 156     cupsui6.dll
 157     cupsdrv6.dll
 158     ps5ui.dll
 159     pscript.hlp
 160     pscript.ntf
 161     pscript5.dll
 162 .fi
 163
 164 .SH ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 95, 98, AND ME
 165 \fIcupsaddsmb\fR can use the Adobe PostScript printer driver for
 166 Windows 95, 98, and ME, which are available for download from the
 167 Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com).
 168 .LP
 169 The Adobe driver does not support the page-label, job-billing, or
 170 job-hold-until options.
 171 .LP
 172 Once you have extracted the driver files, copy them to the
 173 \fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory exactly as named below:
 174 .nf
 175
 176     [Windows 95, 98, and Me]
 177     ADFONTS.MFM
 178     ADOBEPS4.DRV
 179     ADOBEPS4.HLP
