.SH NAME
cupsaddsmb \- export printers to samba for windows clients
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cupsaddsmb
[ -H
.I samba-server
] [ -U
.I samba-user[%samba-password]
] [ -h
.I cups-server[:port]
] [ -v ] -a

[ -H

] [ -v ] printer [ ... printer ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR exports printers to the SAMBA software (version
2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the
SAMBA configuration, you may need to provide a password to
export the printers. This program requires the Windows printer
driver files described below.
.SH OPTIONS
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR supports the following options:
.TP 5
-H samba-server
.br
Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
.TP 5
-U samba-user[%samba-password]
.br
Specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your
current username. If the username contains a percent (%)
character, then the text following the percent is treated as the
SAMBA password to use.
.TP 5
-a
.br
Exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are
exported.
.TP 5
-h cups-server[:port]
.br
Specifies a different CUPS server to use.
.TP 5
-v
.br
Specifies that verbose information should be shown. This is
useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
.SH SAMBA CONFIGURATION
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR uses the new RPC-based printing support in
SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows
client machines. In order to use this functionality, you must
first configure the SAMBA \fIsmb.conf(5)\fR file to support
printing through CUPS and provide a printer driver download
share, as follows:
.nf
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
.fi
.LP
This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of
SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths
accordingly on your system as needed.
.SH MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
The base driver for Windows 2000 and higher is the Microsoft
PostScript driver, which is available on any system running
Windows 2000 or higher in the
%WINDOWS%\\SYSTEM32\\SPOOL\\DRIVERS\\W32X86\\3 folder.
.LP
The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Microsoft driver
since it supports the page-label, job-billing, and
job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However, currently
only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the Microsoft
driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support
Windows 95, 98, and Me clients. The Adobe and Microsoft drivers
for Windows 2000 are identical.
.LP
Once you have extracted the driver files, copy them to the
\fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory exactly as named below:
.nf
[Windows 2000 and higher]
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
.fi
.LP
\fBNote:\fR Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that
you use the lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR will fail to export the drivers.
.SH CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR can use the CUPS v6 PostScript printer driver
for Windows, which is available for download from the CUPS web
site.
.LP
The CUPS printer driver is preferred over the Adobe and
Microsoft drivers since it supports the page-label, job-billing,
and job-hold-until options fully on all printers. However,
currently only Windows 2000 and higher is supported by the CUPS
driver, so you will also need to get the Adobe driver to support
Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
.LP
Once you have extracted the driver files, copy them to the
\fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory exactly as named below:
.nf
[Windows 2000 and higher]
cups6.ini
cupsui6.dll
cupsdrv6.dll
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
.fi
.LP
\fBNote:\fR Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that
you use the lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR will fail to export the drivers.
.SH ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 95, 98, AND ME
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR can use the Adobe PostScript printer driver for
Windows 95, 98, and ME, which are available for download from the
Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com).
.LP
The Adobe driver does not support the page-label, job-billing, or
job-hold-until options.
.LP
Once you have installed the driver on a Windows system, copy the
following files to the \fI@CUPS_DATADIR@/drivers\fR directory
exactly as named below:
.nf
[Windows 95, 98, and Me]
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
.fi
.LP
\fBNote:\fR Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that
you use the UPPERCASE filenames shown above, otherwise
\fIcupsaddsmb\fR will fail to export the drivers.
