Samba works fine with CUPS for me when i follow this procedure:
1. For a printer physically attached to the RH 9 computer, i define two
queues:
- one of them using the correct driver for that printer
- another one, a "raw" queue (see in CUPS drivers list)
Both queues point to the same local printer.
2. The first queue i configure as default for that system
3. I export the printer queues with Samba (normal settings, i only add
"public" to the printers definition in Samba)
4. From other systems, i use the second ("raw") queue only
This way i was able to print from Win2K Server to RH 9 without any
problems whatsoever.
It's quite logical actually. The local queue uses the CUPS driver to
print. The shared queue lets the other systems format their printing
documents using their own drivers, and then the result is fed into the
printer via the raw queue.
