MANUAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
To complete the installation of print/cups-samba, do in order:
|
||||
To complete the installation of print/cups-samba follow cupsaddsmb(8)
|
||||
manual page as below:
|
||||
|
||||
SAMBA
|
||||
-------
|
||||
1. Follow section "SAMBA CONFIGURATION" with following remarks:
|
||||
|
||||
1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
|
||||
lines (see 'man cupsaddsmb' for more info):
|
||||
Adjust path for [print$].
|
||||
|
||||
There is no standard directory so you should create one, you may pick
|
||||
any directory but it must NOT be %%PREFIX%%/share/cups/drivers as
|
||||
suggested in the past nor anything under %%PREFIX%%/etc/samba which
|
||||
is not world readable.
|
||||
It must be writeable by printer admin[2] (i.e. root) and world readable.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended
|
||||
# mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/drivers
|
||||
# chmod 755 /var/lib/samba/drivers
|
||||
|
||||
2. Follow section "MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS"
|
||||
|
||||
[global]
|
||||
load printers = yes
|
||||
printing = cups
|
||||
printcap name = cups
|
||||
You may skip 64-bit drivers if you don't need them.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Follow section "CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS"
|
||||
|
||||
2) edit the [printers] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
|
||||
lines:
|
||||
Nothing needs to be done here as you should already have all files.
|
||||
NOTE: 64-bit CUPS drivers were not yet released[1].
|
||||
If you have 64-bit Windows machines, for now you have to fetch CUPS
|
||||
drivers from SVN:
|
||||
|
||||
# svn export http://svn.easysw.com/public/windows/trunk/x64 %%PREFIX%%/share/cups/drivers/x64
|
||||
|
||||
[printers]
|
||||
comment = All Printers
|
||||
path = /var/spool/samba
|
||||
browseable = no
|
||||
public = yes
|
||||
guest ok = yes
|
||||
writable = no
|
||||
printable = yes
|
||||
printer admin = root
|
||||
4. Run cupsaddsmb
|
||||
|
||||
3) edit the [print$] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
|
||||
lines:
|
||||
To export all printers to MS Windows NT clients:
|
||||
# cupsaddsmb -v -a
|
||||
|
||||
You will be prompted for the password of samba user named root.
|
||||
If you have not set it already do it before running cupsaddsmb:
|
||||
# smbpasswd -a
|
||||
|
||||
[print$]
|
||||
comment = Printer Drivers
|
||||
path = %%PREFIX%%/share/cups/drivers
|
||||
browseable = yes
|
||||
# guest ok = yes works too
|
||||
guest ok = no
|
||||
read only = yes
|
||||
write list = root
|
||||
|
||||
4) restart Samba
|
||||
|
||||
____________
|
||||
NOTE: Samba needs to know about the passwords for printer admin and
|
||||
write list or authentication will fail.
|
||||
5. On your Windows machine, browse for a network printer as usual.
|
||||
Opening it should automagically install drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CUPS-LPR
|
||||
----------
|
||||
For more uses please refer to cupsaddsmb(8).
|
||||
|
||||
1) Copy following files from your MS Windows system:
|
||||
|
||||
ps5ui.dll
|
||||
pscript5.dll
|
||||
pscript.hlp
|
||||
pscript.ntf
|
||||
|
||||
They are located somewhere in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86.
|
||||
Put them to %%PREFIX%%/share/cups/drivers and correct permissions (chmod -wx).
|
||||
|
||||
2) Run cupsaddsmb
|
||||
|
||||
If only a subset of your printers will be installed as exportable to
|
||||
MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:
|
||||
|
||||
#cupsaddsmb -U root cups_printer_1 cups_printer_2 ...
|
||||
|
||||
To export all printers to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:
|
||||
|
||||
#cupsaddsmb -U root -a
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, you will be prompted for the root password.
|
||||
|
||||
WINDOWS
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
1) Browse and install for a network printer as usual. The drivers
|
||||
will be automagically installed.
|
||||
|
||||
____________
|
||||
NOTE: Other settings in smb.conf may work, but your REALLY need to
|
||||
know what your are doing. :)
|
||||
|
||||
64-bit Windows clients are not yet supported however you may find your luck
|
||||
with drivers from: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2566
|
||||
|
||||
On later Samba versions, "printer admin" is deprecated, instead your admin
|
||||
user should have SePrintOperatorPrivilege. Use "net rpc rights" to add them.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
valuable information on this topic, especially chapters 17 and 18.
