NAME
       cupsaddsmb - export printers to samba for windows clients

SYNOPSIS
       cupsaddsmb [ -a ] [ -U user ] [ -v ]
       cupsaddsmb [ -u user ] [ -v ] [ printer1 ... printerN ]

DESCRIPTION
       cupsaddsmb  exports  printers  to  the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or
       higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA configura‐
       tion,  you  may need to provide a password to export the printers. This
       program requires the Adobe PostScript printer  driver  files  described
       below.

       The  -a	option	exports	 all known printers. Otherwise, only the named
       printers are exported.

       The -U option specifies the print admin username which defaults to your
       current username.

       The -v option specifies that verbose information should be shown and is
       useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.

SAMBA CONFIGURATION
       cupsaddsmb 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  SAMBA  (via
       the  smb.conf  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
	    printer admin = root

	   [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 sys‐
       tem as needed.

ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
       cupsaddsmb uses the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for Windows, which
       are    available	   for	  download    from    the   Adobe   web	  site
       (http://www.adobe.com). Once you have extracted the driver files,  cre‐
       ate   a	"drivers"  directory  in  the  CUPS  data  directory  (usually
       /usr/share/cups) and copy the Adobe files using UPPERCASE filenames, as
       follows:

	   ADFONTS.MFM
	   ADOBEPS4.DRV
	   ADOBEPS4.HLP
	   ADOBEPS5.DLL
	   ADOBEPSU.DLL
	   ADOBEPSU.HLP
	   DEFPRTR2.PPD
	   ICONLIB.DLL
	   PSMON.DLL
