How can I share a cups-pdf printer over SAMBA?

[MikeHunt79]

Is it hard? I've installed the printer (i'm using ubuntu 7), but the Windows boxes on my network are unable to find it.

Not hard at all, if you use arch their excellent wiki explains it here (theory will apply to other distros ofc)

Thanks, I'm going thru it at the moment, Windows can now find the printer but not the drivers. I'm sure I'll figure it out tho, unless anyone here has already done this?

EDIT: Got the drivers and it's working perfectly, great stuff.
