cupsaddsmb - export printers to samba for windows clients
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user[%samba-password] ] [
-h cups-server[:port] ] [ -v ] -a
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user[%samba-password] ] [
-h cups-server[:port] ] [ -v ] printer [ ... printer ]
The cupsaddsmb program 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.
SAMBA CONFIGURATION
cupsaddsmb uses the RPC-based printing support in SAMBA to provide
printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines. In order
to use this functionality, you must first configure the SAMBA
smb.conf(5) file to support printing through CUPS and provide a
printer driver download share, as follows:
[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
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of SAMBA;
adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths accordingly on your
system as needed.
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 %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\3 folder
for 32-bit drivers and %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\X64\3 folder
for 64-bit drivers.
Copy the 32-bit drivers to the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory and
the 64-bit drivers to the /usr/share/cups/drivers/x64 directory
exactly as named below:
ps5ui.dll
pscript.hlp
pscript.ntf
pscript5.dll
Note: Unlike Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use
the lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise cupsaddsmb will fail
to export the drivers.
cupsaddsmb supports the following options:
-H samba-server
Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
-U samba-user[%samba-password]
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.
-a Exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers
are exported.
-h cups-server[:port]
Specifies a different CUPS server to use.
-v Specifies that verbose information should be shown. This is
useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
