Hello. On our RHEL3 server we run Xinet FullPress (http://www.xinet.com/), a print industry application that provides AppleTalk protocol support for Mac clients, as well as OPI image replacement and some print queue stuff. Creating a print queue in FullPress creates a spooler that is presented to Mac clients, as well as a CUPS printer that is exposed via Samba. For each queue created by FullPress, a file is created in /etc/cups/interfaces/ that in turn calls a script created by FullPress in /var/adm/appletalk/model/. I _can_ print from Mac clients via AppleTalk to a FullPress created printer. I _can_ print from the CUPS web-based admin tool to a FullPress created printer. I _cannot_ print from a Windows client PC to a FullPress created printer. For testing purposes, I executed the following command manually: `lpadmin -p sdm -E -i /etc/cups/interfaces/HP5000 -v file:/dev/null` (where HP5000 is the interface file created by FullPress pointing to the script /var/adm/appletalk/model/HP5000) I can print a CUPS test pages to the "sdm" printer from the CUPS web-based admin tool. I cannot print a Windows test page to the "sdm" printer from a PC. I cranked the CUPS log level up to debug. When I print a CUPS test page, I see that the interface file is being invoked: D [03/Feb/2006:12:50:45 -0500] AcceptClient() 8 from localhost:631.
