I'm sorry I forgot to mention that, but I am actually using using cups-samba-1.1.19 as you suggest. The cups-postscript drivers are downloading automatically to the clients. Everything works perfectly, except for the fact that I don't get 2-up printing to work :-(
I suspect that when the job comes from the samba side, the options applied to the queue with lpoptions are not actually enforced. The other obvious possibility is that I have not configured the queue properly (what did I do wrong?). Basically, the way I did this is: - Set up a plain CUPS queue and "export" it to samba with cupsaddsmb (everything works as expected) - Repeat the same steps as above for a second queue, pointing to the same printer. I then ran lpoptions -d NX2-118_2up -o number-up=2 and after that I ran cupsaddsmb. The new que (NX2-118_2up) works alright (i.e. 2-up printing) from Linux, but prints 1-up from samba :-( By the way, is there any way to access CUPS printer instances (e.g. NX2-118/2up) from samba? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance! Gonçal > > The jobs would need to arrive at the Samba server in > postscript, preferably from the 'cups driver'.
