Sean - it sounds like you finally got the CUPS processing print jobs working using the vendor specific PPD's... Have you noticed any quality issue with the resulting print job? The reason I ask, is I got an HP4 working with the CUPS processing the job. The quality of the output is noticeably poor compared to the actual windows driver printing RAW through CUPS (it looks almost like the output was created into a picture and then printed). Now, I am using the built in CUPS 'HP LaserJet Series' PPD - so that may be the difference (vendor verse non-vendor PPD) Can I just clarify that you are using the cupsaddsmb from 1.1.21rc2 but using cups 1.1.20 - and the reason is for its PPD processing to clean up potential 'bad' postscript generated by the vendor PPD > > I used vendor drivers in the pre-CUPS Red Hat Linux 7.1 days with very > early Samba 2.2 releases and the Add Printer Wizard.
