In the past I've set up a pdf creation utility for windows users based on the info from http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html I.E I've got [pdf-printer] path = /tmp printable = yes guest ok = yes print command = /usr/bin/printpdf %s comment = PDF Writer In my smb.conf and have created a print queue on the windows machine with a postscript driver. The windows box submits the print job ok I'm now trying to get it to work on Fedora Core 2 but it fails with this error in the /var/log/samba/smbd.log [2004/05/26 11:10:40, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_queue_get(911) Unable to get jobs for ipp://localhost/printers/pdf-printer - client-error-not-found [2004/05/26 11:10:43, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_job_submit(779) Unable to print file to pdf-printer - client-error-not-found Now I'm guessing that somehow samba has outsmarted itself (or me) and now supports sharing cups print queues and instead of calling my print command it's trying to submit the job into a cups queue called pdf-printer. But I don't know where / how to get it to stop doing this or should I actually create a cups-queue on the linux box now, and if so how do I get my ps2pdf routine to do it's thang? TIA's P.
