README - 10/07/2002 - CUPS Windows Driver Source Patch
------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

    The file:

	cups-windows-psprint.patch.gz

    contains a unified diff patch against the Microsoft Windows
    NT 4.0 DDK "PSPRINT" (PostScript) driver which allows a
    Windows client to submit a print job to a CUPS server with
    full page accounting and most IPP job options such as
    job-billing, job-priority, job-sheets, and page-label.

    This modified driver is normally used when exporting
    printers via SAMBA.  Easy Software Products also provides a
    Windows GUI client which supports client printing via LPD
    and IPP, as supported by the underlying OS.

    [Editors Note: The ESP Print Pro Windows client will not be
    publicly available until December 2002]


COMPILING THE DRIVER

    You'll need to get the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 DDK, which
    is available freely from the MSDN site, the Microsoft Visual
    C++ compiler (not free), and the Cygwin tools (or just the
    GNU patch and gunzip utilities) to apply the patch.

    After installing the DDK, copy the patch file to the
    \DDK\SRC\PRINT\PSPRINT directory and run the "Free Build
    Environment" program included with the DDK.  Then type the
    following commands:

        cd src\print\psprint
        gunzip cups-windows-psprint.patch.gz
	patch -p0 <cups-windows-psprint.patch
	md bin
	md bin\free
	md bin\free\i386
	build

    The two DLL files needed will be created in the
    bin\free\i386 directory.
