[cups.general] CUPS driver for 64 bits Windows ?

[alet at librelogiciel.com]

Hi all,

We've been using CUPS' driver for windows on all of our 32 bits Windows
clients for two years now, with automated driver installation through
Samba, allowing us to use a single printer driver for our 60 printers.

Now we've got an increasing number of 64 bits Windows 7 clients, for
which this automated driver installation doesn't work because we don't
have the 64 bits CUPS driver on our Samba server.

So I've got two questions :

* Could anyone who has done the compilation work make the 64 bits CUPS
  driver for Windows available somewhere ? (If it's already available I
  didn't find it)

* Provided I can put my hands onto this beast, what is the correct way
  to put this onto our Samba server while not having to re-launch
  cupsaddsmb for all printers ? The problem we've got is related to
  Samba/Windows setting the default page site to Letter, while we use
  A4, and so we fear to have to log into a Windows box and re-change all
  default settings for all printers and both 32 and 64 bits versions...
  I've tried to symlink /var/lib/samba/printers/x64 to
  /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86 but this didn't work. This would have
  been great if it did.

Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

bye
