I'm trying to setup a print share with samba-2.2.4 that 9x and 2k clients should be able to print to. Below is my current setup listing only printer related options. My first concern right now is that I have cups running with the pdfdistiller script to format print jobs into pdf documents. I'm not using a real printer for this. I need samba to display the cups printer called PDF_Printer so that I can print to it from windows. Now the only driver with cups so far that I've been able to get to create a non corrupt pdf was the raw driver aside from thta I had tried some hp drivers but don't really have a clue what I SHOULD use as a driver with pdfdistiller. Anyway raw works for cups and I can use the cups web interface to print a test page and then view that pdf with xpdf or acroread. From this point assuming that I had samba displaying the printer I need to know what print driver I would choose. I also would rather at this time use a local print driver as imprints and adding from 2k are way over my head. I'm still trying to understand the new [print$] share. Oh and I'd prefer to not to have to create the "print" share PDF_Printer below but so far it's the only way to get a printer to display from nework neighborhood. [print$] doesn't create a list automatically as near as I can tell and 2k doesn't use [printer]. Can anyone help or point out any obvious flaws in my setup? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. =)
