Hi, Arno |

This is what you need to correctly configure SAMBA with CUPS. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
You manage your printers with CUPS; either via its cute little |
| 6 |
http interface (http://localhost:631), by manually editing the |
| 7 |
files in /etc/cups, or by some other means like through the |
| 8 |
KDE Printer Administration applet. Either way, if you use |
| 9 |
the code snippets below, all printers configured in CUPS, |
| 10 |
will be available to SAMBA automagically, there is no need |
| 11 |
to individually define them. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Pay close attention to the print command parameter. This is |
| 14 |
how you choose who has the driver, the client or the server. |
