Building upon work from Serge Sterck (lpr32 port driver) and Paul Smedley (initial modifications to use lpr32 port driver source for Samba), Herwig Bauernfeind was able to create a working port driver to access remote printers shared by Samba, Windows and printer server devices based upon CIFS/SMB . It requires libc064x-20080813.zip in order to run!

This release supports the complete feature set of smbspool.exe (including support for workgroup and user authentication, passwords are stored encryptedly.

Current limitation of the driver:

The driver does not check the return code of the smbspool.exe operation. Therefore it does not notice, when something goes wrong and the job gets lost for whatever reason.
