Smile Adobe Acrobat on Windows won't print to CUPS.


When I try to print a PDF using Adobe Acrobat on Windows I can't get it to print via CUPS on Slackware.

I'm using the MS Publisher Colour Printer driver on Windows to print.

The windows machine is using Windows XP and the Linux machine is using Slackware 11.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Regards,

Gregory Bowden

This is what the slackbuild for CUPS 1.2.4 in /testing/source/cups1.2.4 has to say

Code:
# For full CUPS SMB support, you'll need to install the cups-samba
# package from the source in this directory.  There's no easy way
# to add that to a package build, and the requests aren't pouring in,
# so you'll have to install it yourself.  It's easy to do.

# However, this will get you the most useful SMB support for free.
# Thanks to Boris Kurktchiev for the tip.  :-)
( cd $PKG/usr/lib/cups/backend
  if [ ! -e smb ]; then
    ln -sf /usr/bin/smbspool smb
  fi
)
I suspect you will either have to do this or see if there is a pre-complied package on LinuxPackages or Slacky.It.
