You will need to get the following files from an installation of Windows:
ps5ui.dll pscript.hlp pscript.ntf pscript5.dll
They will be in all caps (uppercase) on the Windows machine, but make sure
you have them in lowercase, and then place them in /usr/share/cups/drivers/
Now you'll need to make sure /etc/samba/smb.conf is properly configured.
Sample parameters for /etc/samba/smb.conf are as follows:
[global]
load printers = yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/share/cups/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
You might also want to create /etc/samba/users.map with e.g. this:
darkstar # cat /etc/samba/users.map
# This file maps Unix usernames to client usernames
# Format:
# Unix username = client username
root = Administrator
# add other mappings as needed
Finally, export the printers with "cupsaddsamba -a" and restart cupsd.
