nightmorph 07/07/08 02:22:05 Modified: quick-samba-howto.xml Log: finally! updated the CUPS windows driver installation portion thanks to spanky/vapier/mike frysinger's tip on the cups-windows package. i'll still leave the ancient package in my devspace though in case we need to go into cvs history and restore the old pain-in-the-butt manual installation procedure. bug 184473
