Hi all, I am running samba 3.0.6 on Linux and am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to delete a print driver from the driver database? I have around 20 printers running off of this print server and occasionally we remove all of a certain type of printer. Also, for some reason, the drivers sometimes seem to become corrupt and it would be nice to be able to entirely remove a driver and then reinstall it from scratch. Is this a possible thing to do? Thanks, Chris ________________________________________________________________________ ________ Chris Slack IT Manager M/V Anastasis - Currently docked in Bremerhaven, DL Mercy Ships <mailto:chris.slack@mercyships.org> chris.slack@mercyships.org <http://www.mercyships.org/> www.mercyships.org <http://www.chrisslack.org/>

You could browse the Samba server from your MS client as printer admin. Go into the printers subfolder, click the right mouse button and select properties. Select the "Drivers" tab, choose the driver and click onto "Remove". This works since Samba 3.0.x. Bye, Martin P.S. Perhaps Gerald Carter (or someone else) decides to enhance the rpcclient tool to produce deletedriverex calls. It would be just a little fix. :-) On Friday 24 September 2004 09:34, Jim C. wrote:> M/V Anastasis - IT Manager wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I am running samba 3.0.6 on Linux and am wondering if anyone knows if it > > is possible to delete a print driver from the driver database?

rpcclient $server -N -U 'user%passwd' -c 'deldriver $printer' Then remove the all the files related to the printer in the driver directory...
