Cups Pdf

[Eagle710]

I have tried forever to google this topic but nn one seems to know so i was wondering if anyone here knew......

I setup CUPS-PDF and the deviceURI is cups-pdf:/ i would like to change that..... so research shows i have to change the /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file to be something like....

Out /home/${USER}/Desktop WHAT I REALLY PUT WAS /exports/pdfs (samba share)

doesnt seem to change it to that in the localhost:631 settings page.......i have restarted cups and stop/started the printer nothing works am i missing something?

Hi i have setup a CUps-PDF printer... works fine for local host printing.... im trying to get it to work so windows clients can print to it but no luck........ im using Samba to do this but not sure what i am missing every time i print it doesn't go through.... but locally it does .... cant figure out why. Here is my smb.conf

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

You shouldn't have to have the last two sections, you are already sharing all printers with the [printers] section. Does cups-pdf show up in smbtree?

The very last is the folder where the pdfs get printed toooo... ill remove the cups-pdf printer part
