[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
