Warning
Due to a bug, one recent CUPS release puts the cups.hlp driver file
into/usr/share/drivers/ instead of /usr/share/cups/drivers/ . To work
around this, copy/move the file (after running the
./cups-samba.install
script) manually to
the correct place.
This new CUPS PostScript driver is currently binary only, but free of charge. No complete source code is
provided (yet). The reason is that it has been developed with the help of the Microsoft DDK and compiled with
Microsoft Visual Studio 6. Driver developers are not allowed to distribute the whole of the source code as
free software. However, CUPS developers released the “diff” in source code under the GPL, so
anybody with a license for Visual Studio and a DDK will be able to compile for himself or herself.
