Might not be much help but you could try and use 'use client driver = yes'.
Also very nice PDF/Samba Howto here: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html -----Original Message----- From: Robert Adkins II [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 February 2003 22:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] PDF Printer issue Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows Printers folder, if I select the PDF printer the status box states that the printer is inactive and not ready. However, if I browse to the printer through the Windows Explorer Network Neighborhood, the printer shows up as active and ready. I am unsure quite what the problem is, which means it is likely something very easy. There is one thing to note, I have not a single Linux Printing Subsystem running on the machine as this server is not being used for regular printing of any sort. Here is my smb.conf section: [purchpdf] comment = PDF Generator for Purchasing path = /var/spool/samba valid users = *UserNames Removed* write list = *UserNames Removed* printable = yes print command = gs -dNOPAUSE -dbatch -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/share/purchasing/pdf/%J.pdf <%J 1>/dev/null 2>&1; rm -f %J Thanks for any assistance that can be rendered.
