Hello, i have problems getting the automatic driver installation for windows clients running. i am using cupsaddsmb, it creates the WIN40 Directory and tells me its putting files - but the Directory remains empty - and thats, so i guess, the reason for the rpccleint command failing (DOS error 0x00000042 smth.) what am i doing wrong? regards sven wandersleb transcript of cupsaddsmb and smb.conf follow: edelstoff printer # ls -la total 0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 48 8.
