Re: samba-bsd printing

[Pierre-Philipp Braun <pbraun%nethence.com@localhost>]

Solved.  I had to force empty FormField to the printcap entry,

raw|raw printer:\
        :sh:lp=/dev/lpa0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :ff=:

Besides:
- it is also good to use the lpa device instead of lpt,
- ah ok the samba path for printer should point to a world-writable 
folder with sticky bit.  So /var/tmp should be just fine.

What about the local and non-windows clients printing?  I was using 
apsfilter at the time, which is a wrapper against a2ps and sends it to 
ghostscript, as I understand it.  There was also David Parsons's 
Magicfilter fork.  Could ghostscript be used more directly today or does 
it still needs those kind of filters?  Non-cups users, are there updates 
on this?

Thanks
