[Samba] Why I can't set some default printer options for my HP 1015 + CUPS printer ??
Hi, Everyone! I've installed samba + print$ driver + cups successfully on my Debian Box, and I've made a simple page count program for the printed PCL and postscript files, it runs nicesly, but one problem I encountered is that I can't check the "Advanced " option on for the samba printer (I've tried to check them, but it does not take effect), while I can do it well for locally installed printers and I don't know where samba put the default options are, for I found the drivers under /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86 remains untouched, I'm wondering about how samba emulates the window printer setting communication. Any help is appreciated. -- Zhao YouBing, Ph.D student State Key Lab of CAD&CG,Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310027, P.R.China Tel : 0571-87951045(O), 87933444(H) Email: zhaoyb@cad.zju.edu.cn MSN : zhaoyoubing@hotmail.com

The relevant parts in the printing chapters are here (and they apply mostly to the late 2.2.x releases too): http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.html#11_1 http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.html#11_2_10 Cheers, Kurt
