1 - Setup CUPS, add printers using RAW queues, Setup Samba, tell it to
use cups for printing
2 - Setup a shared location for printer drivers from Samba, the share
can be pretty much anywhere on your local FreeBSD filesystem, and can
use all the options of any other file-share, but must be shared from
Samba with the name 'print$'. Something similar to this inside your
smb.conf should suffice:
[print$]
comment = Windows Client Printer Drivers
path = /var/db/windows_printers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = root Administrator @"Domain Admins" @"Printer Admins"
3 - Login from a Windows client, to the Samba server using an
administrator login (as specified in the write list for print$). Goto
the 'Printers' section, NOT the direct queue mapping, for example:
\\samba1\Printers NOT \\samba1\some_printer. When in the printers
folder, right-click the printer you wish to add the drivers to, and
you can add them from the windows properties dialog like you would any
printer. This will upload the drivers to the samba [print$] share for
other clients to use.
4 - From another samba client running windows, goto
\\samba1\some_printer and it will prompt if you wish to 'Connect to
printer', simply say yes - and that client should use the windows
drivers directly from the samba [print$] share without further prompting.
There are some issues, and it's not just as simple as 4 easy steps...
but this is the general process to go through, with a little reading
from the Samba website/documentation you should be able to get it
going. Feel free to drop another message back to the list if you run
into more questions from there.
