samba - Jun 2003 - Slow windows -> cups print - CONCLUSION

Hi list,

I've just figured it out.

When we're installing the drivers from adobe there's a part where we
must
"Select the Printer Model". By default it uses the "Generic
Postscript Printer"
(it has an associated PPD for that). We must get a PPD for our printer
(installed on the linux server) from the www.linuxprinting.org, click the
"Browse" button and select that PPD. After that you'll have a new
printer
installed an all will work like a charm.

Note:

Inside the PPD of my printer (HP OfficeJet 5110) I had these line (despite all
the others :) ):

*ShortNickName: "HP OfficeJet 5110, hpijs"
*NickName:      "HP OfficeJet 5110, Foomatic + hpijs (recommended)"

On the instalation of the Adobe drivers I had erros saying my printed had
illegal chars on it's name. So, I've replaced the previous lines with:

*ShortNickName: "HP OfficeJet 5110"
*NickName:      "HP OfficeJet 5110"


Hope this helps anyone.

Bye,

The "illegal" chars were the commas. It indicates that your
Linuxprinting.org
retrieved PPDs were not the current version. Current versions don't have
this
issue any more.
