[Samba] Not using CUPS. How much can I strip from smb.conf?
I'm not using CUPS for printing, instead clients have local printers and are using Windows' printer sharing. Can I assume it's safe to completely remove the following from smb.conf, or do I need to replace it with something: [global] printcap name = cups printing = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printer admin = root, smbadmin create mask = 0600 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers Share path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = root, smbadmin printer admin = root, smbadmin Using samba 3.0.21b on debian etch. Thank you Paul
