chronicle of the end of a nightmare....
server side
1. have cups properly configured
2. have samba configured and sharing the printers
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
write list = @adm root
guest ok = yes
inherit permissions = yes
# Settings suitable for Winbind:
# write list = @"Domain Admins" root
# force group = +@"Domain Admins"
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = yes
# to allow user 'guest account' to print.
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
create mode = 0700
# =====================================
# print command: see above for details.
# =====================================
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers.
# print command = lpr-cups -P %p %s # using cups own drivers (use generic PostScript on clients).
# If you install drivers on the server, you will want to uncomment this so
# clients request the driver
use client driver = yes
client side (win 7)
- from explorer connect to your server: \\192.168.1.3\your_server
- double-click on the icon of the printer
- select drivers and the printer should automagically install on your computer
if your samba client requires a password don't forget to login through explorer first!!!
