PDF Printer with Samba

Hi all!

I've try some ways to create a PDF Printer with my Samba Server but when I
try to access to the printer, I can't connect... How can I create a virtual
PDF printer on my Fedora 2 box???

Can somebody help me?

Thanks!

I've got the same problem with FC1.
My smb.conf holds the following printer definition:

[smbpdf]
comment = PDF Generator
printable = yes
read only = yes
# print command: all on one line!
print command = /usr/bin/gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=/datadisk/sambashare/%m_%s.pdf %s; rm %s
public = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
printer name = PDF Generator

But to get it working, you need to recompile samba from source without cups
support.

Good luck,
David
