Printing
I'm going to try to tackle printing migration. Look like, to get something close to NT style IP printing, which is what we have, we need to do this.
1) Set up CUPS to allow raw printing
2) Set up CUPS to send page log files to syslog
3) add raw print queue to our printer IPs using the CUPS lpadmin utility
4) Set samba to share CUPS print queues
The test queues seem a little slow, but I'm going to go ahead with it. The main difficiently I see is auditing print queue usage through the /var/log/cups/page_log file. It seem a bit un-verbose. I'd like to find away to capture the file names while keeping the printer connection raw.
