[Samba] unable to get pushed drivers to work with hp plotters
Hello all! I am running a samba network remotely and am unable to get the driver version needed for cad applications to work It's for a hp750c. I can push the driver fine. And previous versions (the one that came with 2000 and 2.65) worked; but were unsatisfactory for CAD. The version that my cad users want is version 4.64 but for the life of me I can't get that version to work. The driver pushes, but then the user can not print to the device. Things that I have done; * deleted the contents of W32X86/2 and W32X86/3 and re-uploaded the driver (this works for the other printer just fine). * Created multiple printers/names with different versions of the driver. * deleted the contents of winnt\system32\spoll\drivers\2 and 3 on the workstation. * Installed and then deleted the driver pointing to the lpt port on the workstation. (thinking that it was a missing dll.) * Tried slightly different drivers EG the 750c+ and 755CM, in reality it's a c with the postscript module. * Looked at the oh so wonderful hp site for newer drivers to down load but of course they want me to order a CD. The system is a up-to-date debian sid box running Samba version 2.2.5-1. And has run perfectly, with the exception of this. Hints? Questions? Please ask. -- *--* Mail: lawrence@otak.com *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ -------------------------------------- - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - -
