Chantal,

Can you elaborate a bit on how you have integrated CUPS into your
samba4 environment? I have configured a samba4 DC and set up a separate
CUPS server with samba3 to export the printer share. In samba4, where/how
do you set up the printers? Is there a way to push them out to domain
computers using Group Policy?

Thanks,

Andrew
