[Samba] Can't upload printer driver from property sheet.
No matter what I try I was unable to upload the drivers to my samba machine from the property sheet. I don't get any error as I don't even get the chance to press 'New Driver'. I followed the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html to the letter (or so I beleive). But everytime I get the the "Advance Tab", the "New Driver button is greyed out. However I can modify everything else on the property sheet. My clients are Windows XP and my server is FreeBSD 4.5 Any help would be appreciated. Serge.

Add a line saying 'printer admin = serge' (or whomever you might be) to the general smb.conf and try again. Craig
