Yep. > Could you give an example of smb.conf with external CUPS server > configuration in it, please? Nope, this isn't a Samba issue. Your making it too complicated. CUPS handles networking transparent printing all on its own. Define the print queues on the print server (where CUPS is running as the server). Start the CUPS client on the Samba server. Shortly thereafter you will be able to "lpq -P{queuename}" on the Samba server. Then the default Samba settings will work just fine, printers will appear in the network neighborhood. You'll just need to upload Win32 drivers, etc... for the printers into the Samba server. You can adjust CUPS browsing operations, polling, etc... to make it more efficient, but that all has to do with CUPS and nothing at all to do with Samba. If "lpq -P..." doesn't work Samba won't, if it does, Samba will. -- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
