Hi all I've been beating my head against a wall today trying to get a PDF printer set up on our Samba box. It is set up to use CUPS for printing, and from the mountains of documentation/howtos that I've waded through, it appears that when Samba is setup to use CUPS, it ignores the "print command" parameter which most people seem to use for printing to PDF files. I'm wondering has anyone got this working with CUPS or do I have to switch back to LPR based printing to get this to work? TIA
>use CUPS, it ignores the "print command" parameter which most >people seem to use for printing to PDF files.I don't know if this will fix your problems, but I had a reasonably similar issue. The solution quite simply consisted of this in the main section of smb.conf [global] <blah blah blah> printing = cups printcap name = /etc/printcap.cups (this seems to work better than 'printcap name = cups') and then ... [pdfprinter] <other directives> printing = lprng And finally put the generic [printers] section AFTER your specific 'printers' :) Well, it worked for me =) gdh
