-==========================================================================
- Supporting the famous PRINTER$ share

-===========================================================================
-
-Disclaimer:
-
- This ONLY works with Windows 95
- It does NOT work with Windows NT 4
-
-
-Goal:
-
- When you click on a samba shared printer, you can now install the driver
- automatically onto the Windows 95 machine, as you would from an NT server.
-
-How To:
-
- It's a three step config.
-
- First, create a new directory, where you will put the driver files, and
- make a share in smb.conf pointing to it.
-
- Example:
-
- [printer$]
- path=/usr/local/samba/printer
- public=yes
- writable=no
- browseable=yes
-
- Second, you have to build the list of drivers required for a specific
- printer. This is the most complicated thing to do. Get the files
- 'msprint.inf' and 'msprint2.inf' from Windows 95, the easiest way is to
- grab them from a working Windows 95 computer. They are usually located
- in 'c:\windows\inf'. Look in them for the printer you have. Run the new
- program 'make_printerdef' with the file name and the printer name as
- parameters. If you have drivers for an unsupported or updated printer,
- first install these drivers on an Windows 95 system. There will be a
- file created in your inf directory named 'oem?.inf' (where the ? is some
- number). Use this file instead of msprint.inf.
-
- Example: (from the /usr/local/samba/lib directory)
-
- make_printerdef msprint.inf "Apple LaserWriter" >> printers.def
-
- The program will print out a list of required files to stderr.
- Copy all the files listed into the directory you created in step 1.
- If you have "preserve case = yes" make sure your files names match
- EXACTLY the names listed.
-
- Third, you need to add 2 new parameters in smb.conf. One is in the
- [global] section, called 'printer driver file' pointing to the printer
- description file you just created, and the other in each printer share,
- called 'printer driver location' pointing to where the client will get
- the drivers. Don't forget to set correctly the printer driver parameter
- to the Windows printer name.
-
- Example:
-
- [global]
- printer driver file=/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def
-
- [lp]
- comment = My old printer laser
- browseable = yes
- printable = yes
- public = yes
- writable = no
- create mode = 0700
- printer driver=Apple LaserWriter
- printer driver location=\\%h\PRINTER$
-
- %h will expand to the computer name, and PRINTER$ is the name of the
- share created in step one.
-
-
-If it doesn't work for you, don't send flame ! It worked for me. In case of
-trouble don't hesitate to send me a mail with your smb.conf file and
-printers.def

-******* added by herb@sgi.com
-
-For those of you who like to know the details, and in case I have guessed
-wrong on some of the fields - The following is the format of the entries
-in the printers.def file: (entries are 1 single line - they are split here
-for readability)
-
-<Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:<Help File Name>:
-<Language Monitor Name>:<Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files>
-
-The <Help File Name> and the <Language Monitor Name> can be empty.
-If no <Driver File Name> or <Data File Name> are specified in the inf file,
-these will default to the section name for the printer.
-
-The following is an excerpt from the MSPRINT2.INF file on a WIN95 machine.
-I have deleted all but the entries relating to installing a driver for the
-"QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" printer. Using this "file" I'll try to
-explain how the printers.def file is created.
-
-make_printerdef is run with the first argument being the name of this
-file (MSPRINT2.INF in this case) and the second argument being the
-name of the printer ("QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" in this case).
-
-The printer name is first found in the "Model section" to obtain the
-name of the "Installer Section" (this is the name after the equal sign).
-We ignore the alternate name.
-
-The "Installer Section" contains entries for "CopyFiles" and "DataSection".
-The "CopyFiles" line gives a list of all the required files for this
-printer. If the name begins with an @ it is the name of a file (after
-you strip off the @), otherwise it is the name of a "Copy Section" which
-in turn is a list of files required. This printer has one file listed
-"QCS30503.SPD" and two sections "COLOR_QMS_100_30" and "PSCRIPT". The
-"COLOR_QMS_100_30" section is listed in the "[DestinationDirs]" as
-having a value of 23. This means that all files listed in this section
-should go into the "color" subdirectory. The list of files to copy for
-this printer is thus:
-
-QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI,
-TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL
-
-From the "Data Section" we obtain values for "DriverFile", "HelpFile",
-and "LanguageMonitor". The % around the value for "LanguageMonitor"
-indicates that it is a string that can be localized so its actual value
-is obtained from the "[Strings]" section. The "Data Section" could also
-have contained an entry for "DefaultDataType".
-
-Using the information we have obtained we can now construct the entry
-for the printers.def file.
-
-<Long Printer Name> -> QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30 (name given
- on the command line)
-<Driver File Name> -> PSCRIPT.DRV (given in Data Section)
-<Data File Name> -> QCS30503.SPD (defaults to Install Section name)
-<Help File Name> -> PSCRIPT.HLP (given in Data Section)
-<Language Monitor Name> -> PostScript Language Monitor (given in Data Section)
-<Default Data Type> -> RAW (default if not specified)
-
-
-So.... the enty (actually one line but split here for readability) would
-be:
-
-QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30:PSCRIPT.DRV:QCS30503.SPD:
-PSCRIPT.HLP:PostScript Language Monitor:RAW:
-QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI,
-TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL
