[Samba] Printing from Windows with Kyocera Drivers - which one to use ?
Hello I just ordered a new Kyocera FS-1030 - no more inkjets - and am currently preparing the clients and the server for the new printer. Installing the PPDs on the server was easy but I am unsure which client driver to use. On the server I am using samba-3.0.9-2.6 and cups-1.1.20-108.31. My current plan is to install a "Local Raw Printer" in Cups and then let the clients print with the windows printer drivers supplied by Kyocera. Kyocera uses three kinds of drivers, KX, PCL and KPDL. Which one should I use if I plan to print with the setup described ? As a general question I have always wondered if the connection between a client and printer in such a setting is always only unidirectional or if there is a way to get back status messages from the printer back to the client with SAMBA ? Is there a way to enable the clients to delete entries from the printer queue ? Yours sincerely Stefan
