samba - Nov 2005 - windows printer driver installation with samba and cups

Hi

Using:
- SUSE 9.2
- SAMBA 3.0.7
- CUPS 1.1.21

I am successfully using my network printer under cups. Now I would like to share
this printer to all
windows clients with samba. These are my smb.conf configurations:

**********************
[global]
         interfaces = eth0
         ...
         load printers = yes
         printing = cups
         printcap name = /etc/printcap
         printer admin = @mygroup

[print$]
         comment = Printer Driver
         path = /daten/printers
         browseable = yes
         guest ok = yes
         read only = yes
         write list = @mygroup

[printers]
         comment = All Printers
         path = /var/spool/samba
         browsable = yes
         guest ok = no
         writeable = no
         printable = yes
***********************

The rights for the directories are as follows:

myserver:/ # la daten/printers/
total 1
drwxrwxr-x   2 root mygroup  48 Nov 25 15:29 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root mygroup 472 Nov 25 14:59 ..

myserver:/ # la /var/spool/samba
total 0
drwsrwsrwx   2 root root  48 Jan 28  2005 .
drwxr-xr-x  14 root root 368 Dec 13  2004 ..


Under my windows 2000 (and XP) client, I see my printer within the folder
"PRINTERS". With
"properties->No->Advanced->New Driver"
(Windows-Driver-Wizard) I can specify the driver and follow
all instructions. At the end, when I finish the wizard, a message "can not
install driver. the
procedure could not finished" appears.
Within the directory /daten/printers NO DRIVER is installed!

The log.smbd file says, that the user opens the "print$" share, but
nothing else:
****
[2005/11/25 15:58:27, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(647)
   gonzales (192.168.0.54) connect to service print$ initially as user beat
(uid=509, gid=100) (pid
18552)
****

I allready read a lot of posts about similar problems, but didn't find any
description that would
fix my problem.

Did someone know this problem or see something similar?

thanks
beat

Where are the driver files?  It looks like you haven't installed them.

*You* have to put the printer's drivers in /daten/printers by hand
first, so that the Windows boxes can find those files and copy them
across.

Try "man cupsaddsmb" and read the Samba manual referring to installing
printers.  It looks like all you need to do is copy the printer drivers
across, run cupsaddsmb and then it will work.
