Hi all, According to Samba 2.2.x HOW-TO: You need to download them yourself from the Adobe website. Once extracted, create a drivers directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups/). Copy the Adobe files using UPPERCASE filenames, to this directory as follows: ADFONTS.MFM ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP ADOBEPS5.DLL ADOBEPSU.DLL

The Adobe drivers (on request of the printer PPD associated with them) often put a PJL header in front of the main PostScript part of the print file. Thus, the printfile starts with <1B >%-12345X or <escape>%-12345X instead of %!PS). This leads to the CUPS daemon auto-typing the incoming file as a print-ready file, not initiating a pass through the pstops filter (to speak more

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running Solaris 9. Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system (original packages removed.) Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK. I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups. I have followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up downloading of the

Hi, I've also got problems downloading drivers from samba to a windows client. I'm running Debian Samba 3.0.7-1, and Cupssys 1.1.20final My Windows Client is a Win2KPro. I succesfully installed my printers with Cups and they work fine under Linux, and from remote cups clients. I've been trying to follow the samba docs on serving postscript drivers for cups from the print share in

Hi I am currently using Samba 3.0.11 and Cups 1.1.23 with Windows PostScript drivers and manufacturer PPDs on WinXP clients. When I print multiples copies of a document from a Windows XP box, the number of copies appearing in the Cups "page_log" file always takes the "1" value but the printer prints the correct number of copies. When I do the same on Linux (with the lpr

Hello I've got some problems downloading Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client : On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.2 / Cups 1.1.17) : I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory which gives this result : in /etc/samba/W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp

hi, my boxes: RH 8.0 with samba2.2.6-2 and cups 1.1.15-10 samba runs ok and cups runs ok.I putted Adobe Postscript Printer in /usr/share/cups/drivers. And when I want to export my Cups Printer with cupsaddsmb, this what it happens: [root@bouffon sbin]# cupsaddsmb -H bouffon -U DOMAINNAME\\root -h bouffon -v infolpPassword for DOMAINNAME\root required to access bouffon via SAMBA: Running

I have tried everything I could possibly think of to get printer driver download working with Samba 2.2.3a-6 and CUPS 1.1.15-4 (latest Debian unstable packages). I am wondering if anyone else has go this to work at all (with newer versions of samba or cups?) -- if so please let me know to give me some hope. Or else I am thinking this is officially 'broken'. CUPS is working perfectly

Hi All, Following instructions from here: http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/CUPS-printing.html#id2942237 and also in the "Official Samba Howto" book, I tried to install the CUPS PS driver using cupsaddsmb. It failed due to various reasons, and then I finally got it to work. When I unpacked the latest tar.gz file (cups-samba-5.0rc3.tar.gz) it doesn't unpack the files as:

I'm following the Samba HOWTO for CUPS printing, trying to run the 'cupsaddsmb' program but it requires the Adobe PS files. The howto says to get them from www.adobe.com, can anyone be more specific? The files required are: ADFONTS.MFM ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP ADOBEPS5.DLL ADOBESU.DLL ADOBESU.HLP ADOBEPTR2.PPD ICONLIB.DLL I've downloaded the "Universal 1.0.6 English"

Hi, we have a samba printserver 2.2.7 with cups 1.1.16 with about 15 HP Printers. The samba server runs under Solaris 2.8 and is a member of a NT4 controlled domain. Because of some problems setting the document defaults, I tried cupsaddsmb with the Adobe PS driver. The installation of the driver works fine, but some document defaults (eg. download as softfont instead of substitute with

Hi, I have a linux box on RH7.3 with samba 2.2.5-1 and cups-1.1.14-15. I create a cups printer on to this machine with success, It called lptest? and apparently, when I send a page test it works fine. But now I want to share It via Samba then I putted the different setting in smb.conf . I extracted the different files from the ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVER and I put them in /usr/share/cups/drivers .

Since I sent my original question last week, this is one of two suggestions that worked. Using Adobe Acrobat, as suggested by Professor Ripley, was very satisfactory, but required that I use multiple platforms to make the conversion to PDF (from Linux to Windows). The solution by Peter Adorjan (included below), also worked very well, and can be carried out on any platform using tools available

This was the answer to a question posed on the Samba list almost a year ago.
