Hey all, 

One of that last pieces to be put in place before my site goes live on Samba4 
as AD is printer support. Now I've seen 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO#Step_13:_Setup_a_Printer_share
 and at one point had Group Policy that was deploying a printer on CUPS using 
AD authentication/Samba shares. However, we found out that when Windows 
machines printed to this printer, it was bypassing CUPS, i.e. jobs weren't in 
CUPS logs, and in fact, CUPS could be off and it would still print. Since it 
appeared these machines were printing directly to the printer, we are worried 
about what happens when a bad/large job is sent and the printer becomes 
unresponsive -- without the machines going through CUPS we fear we won't be 
able to manage/maintain the printer. 

So to anyone who has said up printers with Samba4, what method/route did you 
elect? Additionally, a pointer to documentation (I haven't found anything 
great) would be most appreciated. 

Thanks much,
