Talk:Virtual PDF Printer with CUPS Back End for Windows Clients without roaming user profile

From SambaWiki

The user information is getting lost, once the print is passed to cups. Therefore the print is stored as "nobody". In that situation, the share (or at least `hide printables`) below, does not give you any benefits. You would see all or none prints.

 [pdf]
      path = /srv/samba/pdf_output
      read only = no
      hide unreadable = yes

I would suggest moving this share to the Virtual_PDF_Printer page. There is does a great better job and works like a charm.

I would even like to place a suggesten, to use the Virtual_PDF_Printer page, as it's installation is a LOT simpler + plus you can add the share above.
