Connecting to a network Samba PDF converter
By admin | September 30, 2010
The Samba team does not supply any existing PDF drivers for connecting Windows machines to networked PDF converters such as cups-pdf. As a result, the technique to print to the PDF “printer” involves using the drivers for the built-in Windows HP LaserJet. Here is a step-by-step method to print to PDF from your Windows computer.
Prerequisites
A set-up, ready to connect networked virtual PDF converter. This article will only cover connecting, not setting it up.
Procedure
- Open the “Add Printer” dialogue in Windows. Specify Network printer when asked.
- Fill out the path to your networked PDF printer as follows: \\<hostname>\<Printer name>
- Click “Yes” and “OK” for the next two warning from Windows.
- Select the HP LaserJet printer driver as shown as follows:
- After the driver installs, set it as your default printer in Windows or not and print a page to it. You can find the results in your cups-pdf output folder (usually /home/<username>/PDF and /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS for anonymous jobs)
