CUPS-SAMBA provides a means to export CUPS printers from a FreeBSD
server to Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients with a single Windows
driver that customizes the printer based on the PPD file for the
printer.
You will also need the Microsoft Windows PostScript drivers from
a Windows 2000 or higher system. Consult the cupsaddsmb(8) man page
for details.

- Simplify and reorganize pkg-message by referring to relevant sections
of cupsaddsmb(8)
- Add information how to obtain support for 64-bit Windows machines.
- Correctness of instructions validated against fresh install of Samba-3.4
and Windows7 x64.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

With portmgr hat on, reset maintainership of these ports. Maintainer's
old email address bounces, and he has not been responsive to email on the
only other one we have for him.
These ports are now available for adoption.
Come back coop, we miss ya ...
While I'm fixing cups stuff, update these instructions. There was a typo
in the global section, and I've sorted the [Printers] section to match
how it's organized in cupsaddsmb(1). I've also added references to that
page, and to the samba How To since I found them both useful when I
set this up.
Add cups-samba, a client-side drivers for CUPS/Samba FreeBSD server
with Windows clients.
