Here is a small 'how-to' I wrote while adding CUPS-controlled printers to the Windows XP which runs in Qemu on top of FreeBSD with Samba. Hope it helps you out. matthias -- Matthias Apitz / Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH ein Tochterunternehmen der OCLC PICA B.V.

The goal is not to have to install the printers and it's drivers on any XP box, rather using what Samba know from CUPS about them and their drivers which are stored (central) in Samba's share. Install /usr/ports/print/cups-samba and follow the guide of the postinstall instructions. MANUAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== To complete the installation of print/cups-samba, do in order: CUPS-BASE ----------- 1) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types 2) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.convs 3) Make sure in /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf that the Samba server is allowed to use the CUPS server at all; 4) Restart cupsd SAMBA ------- 1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines (see 'man cupsaddsmb' for more info): [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups 2) edit the [printers] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes printer admin = root 3) edit the [print$] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines (the 'path' must be this exactly): [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /usr/local/samba/printer 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. Set them with 'smbpasswd -a root' CUPS-LPR ---------- Now comes the tricky part. Put the following files somehow (i.e. stolen from another XP box) to /usr/local/share/cups/drivers # ls -l total 1996 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 134144 21 feb 13:30 ps5ui.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 25113 21 feb 13:30 pscript.hlp -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 792644 21 feb 13:30 pscript.ntf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 464384 21 feb 13:30 pscript5.dll The 'cupsaddsmb' need them exactly(!) with these names, make sure that they are no with capital letters after having copied them from a Windows box. Watch also what 'cupsaddsmb ... -v ...' says about them below. 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 ps casa color ... 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. Use the flag '-v' to watch what's going on. The 'cupsaddsmb' should create the needed driver structure below /usr/local/samba/printer (this is the entry in smb.conf) and it should look like this # cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -v ps Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%XXXXXXX' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/43fb082709744 W32X86/ps.ppd;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp W32X86/pscript.hlp;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf W32X86/pscript.ntf;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll W32X86/pscript5.dll' added interface ip=193.31.10.34 bcast=193.31.10.63 nmask=255.255.255.224 added interface ip=172.20.0.1 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.12] putting file /var/spool/cups/tmp/43fb082709744 as \W32X86/ps.ppd (3055.0 kb/s) (average 3055.0 kb/s) putting file /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll as \W32X86/ps5ui.dll (65496.8 kb/s) (average 9628.2 kb/s) putting file /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp as \W32X86/pscript.hlp (24522.0 kb/s) (average 10373.0 kb/s) putting file /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf as \W32X86/pscript.ntf (96757.1 kb/s) (average 35054.5 kb/s) putting file /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll as \W32X86/pscript5.dll (90698.2 kb/s) (average 43485.6 kb/s) Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%XXXXXXX' -c 'adddriver "Windows NT x86" "ps:pscript5.dll:ps.ppd:ps5ui.dll:pscript.hlp:NULL:RAW:pscript.ntf"' cmd = adddriver "Windows NT x86" "ps:pscript5.dll:ps.ppd:ps5ui.dll:pscript.hlp:NULL:RAW:pscript.ntf" Printer Driver ps successfully installed.

WINDOWS --------- 1) Browse and install for a network printer this way: 1. Open the Explorer window 2. Enter the location of the printer share, in XP is like this, for example: \\172.20.0.1\Drucker und Faxgeraete\ You will (should) see all the printers added with 'cupsaddsmb' 3. Click on one printer (only needed once and for one printer) and select 'connect' from the pulldown. After this you should be able to print a testpage as normal. /usr/local/share/doc/samba/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf has some valuable information on this topic, especially chapters 17 and 18. --X1bOJ3K7DJ5YkBrT--
