[Samba] Problems installing printerdriver after successful upload to samba-2.2.5
Here is what I do. It gets explained step by step.
At the end of this mail you will find my references used in the text by
[0] and so on.
- starting with initial setup
- getdriverdir NT x86
- uploading files with smbclient prompt; cd W32X86
- addriver
- addprinter
- debian:/scratch/W32X86# rpcclient debian -d 1 -A /scratch/authfile.txt -c
"enumdrivers"
- debian:/usr/local/samba/var/locks# strings ntdrivers.tdb
- getdriverdir Windows 4.0
- uploading with smbclient prompt; cd WIN40..
- addriver
- addprinter
- enumdrivers
Everything looks quite good until here.
- Installation of the drivers from win98
Note: Debug output is available on 3 webservers for having a close look.
Links are in the text.
- Starting with my initial smb.conf [0] and my addprinter.pl [1].
/usr/local/samba/printer/ looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 09:00 W32X86
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 09:00 WIN40
The subdirectories contain nothing.
- debian:~# rpcclient debian -d 1 -A /scratch/authfile.txt -c
"getdriverdir
\"Windows NT x86\""
cmd = getdriverdir "Windows NT x86"
Directory Name:[\\debian\print$\W32X86]
- uploading the XP-Drivers as derived by the mkprinterpkg.pl script from
imprints. Note,
its a HP Lasersword 8000 DN PCL 6 driver for XP. get it here:

Everything looks quite good, as I find all the files in
/usr/loca/samba/printer/W32X86:

hpbftm32.dll
hpbf022e.dll hpbf022g.dll hpbf022i.dll hpbf022i.pmd hpbf022k.dll
hpdcmon.dll
- Now I use the rpcclient adddriver command:
debian:/scratch/W32X86# rpcclient debian -d 1 -A /scratch/authfile.txt -c
"adddriver \"Windows NT x86\" \"HP LaserJet 8000 Series PCL

Printer Driver HP LaserJet 8000 Series PCL 6 successfully installed.
Now all the files are in /usr/local/samba/printer/W32X86/3/
Looks still good here.
- Now, rpcclient addprinter:
rpcclient debian -d 10 -A /scratch/authfile.txt -c "addprinter
\"lj8000\"
\"lj8000\" \"HP LaserJet 8000 Series PCL 6\" \"Samba
Printer Port\"">output1.txt 2>&1
it gives me: result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
but why ? let's see the *complete* debug output at:
It's WERR_ACCESS_DENIED
Now the my addprinter.pl script has added the following lines to my
/etc/printcap, as well as to my smb.conf file:
lj8000:\
:lp=:rm=thomas.at.home.org:rp=raw:\
:sd=/tmp:\
:max#0:\
:sh:\
and for my smb.conf:
[lj8000]
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
print command = lpr -l -r -P %p %s
Here is the output
http://134.93.42.1/~lard/output1.txt or
http://134.93.134.124/~thomas/output1.txt
or at http://plantage.dynodns.net/~lard/output1.txt
Hopefully on of the 3 locations will be online.
If I just redo the same command I get the WERR_PRINTER_ALREADY_EXISTS
error-message. You can see the result here:

http://134.93.134.124/~thomas/output2.txt
or at http://plantage.dynodns.net/~lard/output2.txt

EVERYTHING LOOKS QUITE WELL UNTIL NOW.
Now I open a connection to the samba server from my win98 workstation.
I see the lj8000 in the shares.

When I click on it, a new dialog raises in my win98:
"for using this printer within win98, additional driver installation is
needed"
"do you use this printer for printing from DOS ? " -> NO
Then I get the default window for chossing a printer from the list
containing
drivers for at least 2000 printers.There is NO hp lasterjet 8000 around.
nowhere.

For all that I know thats the same behaviour for Windows XP.
I'm sorry as this is only a private testing-environment. The same things
have occured at work, where I have a XP test-box.
What is wrong ?
Help, suggestions, ideas, hints, docs etc is appreciated
