  50 .SH DESCRIPTION
  51 The \fBcupsaddsmb\fR program exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients.
  52 Depending on the SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to export the printers.
  53 This program requires the Windows printer driver files described below.
  54 .SS SAMBA CONFIGURATION
  55 \fBcupsaddsmb\fR uses the RPC-based printing support in SAMBA to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines.
  56 In order to use this functionality, you must first configure the SAMBA
  57 .BR smb.conf (5)
  58 file to support printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download
  59 share, as follows:
  60 .nf
  61
  62     [global]
  63         load printers = yes
  64         printing = cups
  65         printcap name = cups
  66
  67     [printers]
  68         comment = All Printers
  69         path = /var/spool/samba
  70         browseable = no
  71         public = yes
  72         guest ok = yes
  73         writable = no
  74         printable = yes
  75
  76     [print$]
  77         comment = Printer Drivers
  78         path = /etc/samba/drivers
  79         browseable = yes
  80         guest ok = no
  81         read only = yes
  82         write list = root
  83
  84 .fi
  85 This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths accordingly on your system as needed.
  86 .SS MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
  87 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 %WINDIR%\\SYSTEM32\\SPOOL\\DRIVERS\\W32X86\\3 folder for 32-bit drivers and %WINDIR%\\SYSTEM32\\SPOOL\\DRIVERS\\X64\\3 folder for 64-bit drivers.
  88 .LP
  89 Copy the 32-bit drivers to the \fI/usr/share/cups/drivers\fR directory and the 64-bit drivers to the \fI/usr/share/cups/drivers/x64\fR directory exactly as named below:
  90 .nf
  91
  92     ps5ui.dll
  93     pscript.hlp
  94     pscript.ntf
  95     pscript5.dll
  96
  97 .fi
  98 \fBNote:\fR Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use the lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise \fBcupsaddsmb\fR will fail to export the drivers.
  99 .SH OPTIONS
 100 \fBcupsaddsmb\fR supports the following options:
 101 .TP 5
 102 \fB\-H \fIsamba-server\fR
 103 Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
 104 .TP 5
 105 \fB\-U \fIsamba-user\fR[\fB%\fIsamba-password\fR]
 106 Specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your current username.
 107 If the username contains a percent (%) character, then the text following the percent is treated as the SAMBA password to use.
 108 .TP 5
 109 .B \-a
 110 Exports all known printers.
 111 Otherwise only the named printers are exported.
 112 .TP 5
 113 \fB\-h \fIcups-server\fR[\fB:\fIport\fR]
 114 Specifies a different CUPS server to use.
 115 .TP 5
 116 .B \-v
 117 Specifies that verbose information should be shown.
 118 This is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
