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.
