The banner files come from /usr/share/cups/banners and are refreshed
only when the scheduler (cupsd) is (re)started.

Okay, so is there any way to do it without having to rewrite postscript
code
on every login?

The banner files can be plain text, too.

I have an Apple server that I have set up as a print server for an
environment that includes Red Hat 9.0 clients, HPUX clients, Windows
clients and Solaris 8 & 9 clients. All of the clients can print with the
exception of the Solaris. The log files on the Solaris clients indicate
that the printing process has completed, and that the file has been
transferred to the Apple. The Apple logs show that the print job has
failed, and gives the error message "LPR sharing has been disabled for
this Queue" Has anyone had this error?

See the "Printing Support in SAMBA 3.0" documentation by Kurt Pfeifle.

Hi All
I am trying to setup CUPS on Linux Box with a purpose so as i would be
able
to see Printer usage by each user in terms of number of printouts. I
setup
HP2300 printer and placed its ppd file in drivers folder.

1. I installed it through samba by saying "printcap name = cups" and
"printing = cups" and i was able to view it in shares list from windows
terminal and was able to successfully install and shot printouts from
windows terminal. But when i check up the page_log it shows me nobody as
user and no IP Address/Host name of remote machine.
2. I tried installing it using http://ip_address:631/printer/myprniter,
it
got installed and i was able to see desired log information. But this
way of
installation(by mean of internet/intranet printer)  is happening on few
machine. And is throwing error on few machines. where all the machines
are
Windows 2000 prof.

I am using samba-2.2.5-10,cups-libs-1.1.15-10,
cups-drivers-hpijs-1.9-1.20020617.6, cups-devel-1.1.15-10,
cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.9-1.20020617.6, cups-1.1.15-10 on RHL 8.0

Any Pointers??

Thanks in advance!!!
Dhruv

Is there any particular structure to the plain text banner files?

Same as for PostScript, use {name} to substitute the value of an
attribute, \{ to insert a left curley brace, etc...
