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