-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I've been reading about CUPS but there's a detail that I'm missing. Maybe someone could help me here. Scenario: CUPS can use printers @ remote printservers (think: Linksys, with 2 printers, on one IP address) so the Linux boxen can share them through Samba. And (say, Windows) clients can use those printers through CUPS+Samba (Windows Printing Sharing) easily. The Question: What happens with the print jobs? Possible answers: a) The printjob goes around: Windows -> Samba+CUPS -> Linksys -> Printer b) The printjob gets directions: Windows -> Linksys -> Printer, as Samba+CUPS tell the IP & port to Windows c) Other: [fill in the blank] I've been reading cups.org for a while, but I still don't know what really happens. Obviusly (a) will slow down printing, as well as being a network hog. (b) would be better (or better-er) as the jobs woulb be in the network less time. Or maybe (c) is the Mother of All Printing Solutions Thank you in advance for any answer.
