# NOTE: If you have a CUPS print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer.
# You must configure the samba printers with the appropriate Windows
# drivers on your Windows clients. On the Samba server no filtering is
# done. If you wish that the server provides the driver and the clients
# send PostScript ("Generic PostScript Printer" under Windows), you have
# to swap the 'print command' line below with the commented one.

# This share is used for Windows NT-style point-and-print support.

# in the printer admin parameter above. Note that you also need write access
# to the directory and share definition to be able to upload the drivers.
