Things like sending the printout to a storage box on the copier that waits for someone to walk up and print it (Mailbox/Document Server), duplexing, hole punching, stapling, N-up, etc. I have not tried the CUPS printer drivers, yet, so perhaps these features get passed through, but some of those features aren't even present in the PPD file that I use for CUPS. +1, generic cups drivers may not support all the features available for a given printer. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

No, there is no option to disable bi-directional printer communication. My Canon imageRunner drivers do have this option, and even let you specify the hostname/IP address that they can talk to for the bi-di support, but the Ricoh drivers seem to rely on the ability to communicate directly with the printer, and they seem to rely on Windows to deliver the correct port information to attempt that communication. -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

However, the PPD doesn't seem to include all of the options - like the Document Server/Mailbox printer - that I need. I don't really need these functions on non-Windows platforms, but I definitely need them for some of my Windows-based users. If the PPD doesn't contain the options, then the functionality obviously won't be passed through. > the Canon imageRunner also has supported drivers.

From: Damien J Dye on 21 May 2010 14:30 Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C4500 supports postscript and has a manufacture ppd so there are no issues like that here http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Ricoh/Ricoh-Aficio_MP_C4500 the Canon imageRunner also has supported drivers. the whole point of using CUPS is to get rid of the broken drivers in the first place all PPD options are passed though to the windows client http://svn.easysw.com/public/windows/trunk/x64/ http://svn.easysw.com/public/windows/trunk/i386/ Scanning to email ( configure the printer to read from LDAP) and network scanning use SANE windows print drivers can do either because there not related to printing. try it and see how you go it can't do any harm. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Suarez [mailto:ryan.suarez(a)sheridanc.on.ca] Sent: 21 May 2010 16:10 To: Damien J Dye Cc: Nick Couchman; samba(a)lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba + CUPS Nick Couchman wrote: >>>> On 2010/05/20 at 13:43, Damien J Dye <damien.j.dye(a)googlemail.com> wrote: >>>> >> Why are you not using the cups printer drivers in the cups enviroment there >> are both x64 and i386 versions and gets round the issues with broken drivers >> and allows cups features to be passed to windows. >> > > There are several "special" function of my printers (networked copiers, actually) that need to be supported, and I don't believe the CUPS driver contains this support.

I'm going to hit Ricoh up about that one - seems like something that should be in the PPD file. -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
