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