From my understanding of the samba port, it will use CUPS by default *if* cups is installed. Otherwise it still uses standard bsd-lpr printing. There may be some environment variable that you'll have to set when building the samba port if you do not want the samba port to install the CUPS port. But it definitely works, if you want it to run that way. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
