[Samba] RE : S3+CUPS+PDF pseudo printer : print command not functional on service

[Jérôme Fenal]

Thanks for your answer.
So for my PDF printer, I switched back to BSD printing (calling cups-lpd), and keeped the local (to PDF printer) print command definition. It works now. I still had to add to cups (which automatically generates the /etc/printcap file) a fake printer with the name of the pdf printer (to avoid the loss of the manual addendum to /etc/printcap for the pdf printer).
 
Best regards,
 
Jerome

	You can't use 'print command' if you have 'printcap name = cups' in the
	global section.
