i'm working on migrating my organization win2k print spooler server with 150 printers to cups, i'm having problem configuring the Datamax printers which are used by SAP to print labels, the printer is:
Datamax Iclass 4208
How should i configure this printer in cups.
i would be very happy to get some help with this issue.

Thanks

The same way you configure your other printers. Get the windows driver and extract the archive (you may actually have to install it on a windows machine). 90% of the time there will be a PPD file hidden somewhere in the archive. Use that archive with CUPS to get all printer options, otherwise just use the standard postscript driver.
