Dear Group Members
I want to drag and drop a file from windows machine into samba shared folder visible on windows network and print it with default options. Here is the smb.conf which I am using.
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = ABCD
interfaces = xx.xxx.xxx.xx/xxx.xxx.xxx.x
# server role = active directory domain controller
security = user
map to guest = Bad Password
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[sharedDir]
path = /data/sharedDir
comment = samba share
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0755
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
available = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
print command = echo "NEW: `date`: printfile %f" >> /tmp/smbprn.log
Is it possible to just drop a file and automatically samba can send it to print? Is any manual command needs to be given from windows on the file to print e.g., right clikck+print ?
Is there any way to notify samba about the file drop in samba shared folder that it forwards the request to any printer connected to it.
Please let me know what modification is needed in smb.conf to achieve it.
Thanks & regards,
Anoop.
