samba - Nov 2002 - Printing to pdf

Hi there!

I have recently installed linux and samba on one server.
I would like to know if I can make Windows machines use the pdf-generator 
printer that is shared by default with samba?
When I try to add this printer to a W2K machine I always get the message
"The
driver is not the appropriate. Do you want to install the right driver 
locally on your machine?"

Could anyone help me out with this.

Thanks, Stefan Tunsch

Hi Stefan,

which linux distribution?

AFAIK there is no distribution, which comes with a pdf-printing-share by default
. If you are using eisfair with samba package 1.0.9 and ghostscript package
1.0.2, then you have to install an postscript driver on the client:

For colored pdf try Apple Color LW 12/660 PS, for black/white Apple Laserwriter
12/640.

You have to install the driver local - I tried an automatic download but I guess
there is a problem with printers, which are not associated with an printcap
entry.
