NAME

       cupsaddsmb - export printers to samba for windows clients

SYNOPSIS

       cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user[%samba-password] ] [ -h cups-server[:port] ] [ -v ] -a
       cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user[%samba-password] ] [ -h cups-server[:port] ] [ -v ] printer [ ...  printer ]

DESCRIPTION

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

   SAMBA CONFIGURATION
       cupsaddsmb  uses  the RPC-based printing support in SAMBA to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines.  In order to
       use this functionality, you must first configure the SAMBA smb.conf(5) 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

	   [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 system
       as needed.

   MICROSOFT POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
       The base driver for Windows 2000 and higher is the Microsoft PostScript driver, which is available on any system running  Windows  2000	or
       higher  in  the	%WINDIR%SYSTEM32SPOOLDRIVERSW32X863  folder  for  32-bit drivers and %WINDIR%SYSTEM32SPOOLDRIVERSX643 folder for
       64-bit drivers.

       Copy the 32-bit drivers to the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory and  the  64-bit  drivers  to  the  /usr/share/cups/drivers/x64  directory
       exactly as named below:

	   ps5ui.dll
	   pscript.hlp
	   pscript.ntf
	   pscript5.dll

       Note:  Unlike  Windows, case is significant - make sure that you use the lowercase filenames shown above, otherwise cupsaddsmb will fail to
       export the drivers.

OPTIONS

       cupsaddsmb supports the following options:

       -H samba-server
	    Specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.

       -U samba-user[%samba-password]
	    Specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your current username.  If the username contains a percent  (%)	character,
	    then the text following the percent is treated as the SAMBA password to use.

       -a   Exports all known printers.  Otherwise only the named printers are exported.

       -h cups-server[:port]
	    Specifies a different CUPS server to use.

       -v   Specifies that verbose information should be shown.  This is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
