I am tring to set up a pdf maker as a samba printer.
So far no success.
The print jobs seem to get to samba but then disappear.
I have tested my script by copying a postscript file to the /var/spool/samba directory and then running the script from a shell. It worked fine.
Windows XP does not complain about its test print to the shared printer.
The log file for samba mentions cups_job_submit. Why is it even calling out to cups? I have commented out all references to printer, print caps and cups.
Is there a doc, help file, or web page with a trouble shooting guide for samba printing, pdf creation and such?

The tail of /var/log/samba/%m.log...

If you disable cups support you must set printing = sysv and you must manually configure the printing system commands (most important: print command; other commands are lppause command, lpresume command, lpq command, lprm command, queuepause command and queue resume command) as necessary.

I use cups-pdf.

Since the print command and cups are not compatable here is an alternative method. I have not tried this approach to see if it works.

printing = LPRNG
as found on http://www.lesbell.com.au/Home.nsf/b...1?OpenDocument
was the thing that made it work.
Thank you.
