Doug Barton b44cd11b6f While I'm fixing cups stuff, update these instructions. There was a typo
in the global section, and I've sorted the [Printers] section to match
how it's organized in cupsaddsmb(1). I've also added references to that
page, and to the samba How To since I found them both useful when I
set this up.

MANUAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
==============================
To complete the installation of print/cups-samba, do in order:
CUPS-BASE
-----------
1) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in mime.types
2) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in mime.convs
3) Restart cupsd
SAMBA
-------
1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
lines (see 'man cupsaddsmb' for more info):
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
2) edit the [printers] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
lines:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
3) edit the [print$] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these
lines:
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = %%PREFIX%%/share/cups/drivers
browseable = yes
# guest ok = yes works too
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
4) restart Samba
____________
NOTE: Samba needs to know about the passwords for printer admin and
write list or authentication will fail.
CUPS-LPR
----------
1) Run cupsaddsmb
If only a subset of your printers will be installed as exportable to
MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:
#cupsaddsmb -U root cups_printer_1 cups_printer_2 ...
To export all printers to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients:
#cupsaddsmb -U root -a
In either case, you will be prompted for the root password.
WINDOWS
---------
1) Browse and install for a network printer as usual. The drivers
will be automagically installed.
____________
NOTE: Other settings in smb.conf may work, but your REALLY need to
know what your are doing. :)
%%PREFIX%%/share/doc/samba/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf has some
valuable information on this topic, especially chapters 17 and 18.
