Cups and smbspool
Hello,
I have a windows PC that has my only printer connected to it. I
wanted to be able to print via smb to that printer. Reading
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html#PRINTING_OTHER
It looks like I just need to make a symlink to some smbspool app. I
have samba installed but can not find this app using samba 3.0. I have
a server running samba 2.2 which has the app. Do I need to downgrade
samba to get this to work? I will be using samba on this laptop only
for basic browsing and mounts. So downgrading wont be a big deal, but
I would like stay with the latest and greatest.
