I've gone through the docs and the how to's. I've installed a printer under cups, in fact under cups it was a breeze. Its a Sharp MX4501. I have a ppd file for it, it works great from my linux workstation. I've set up a printer share under samba on my domain controller. The windows machines find it, download the driver and then give the error: "The 'Sharp-4501' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the printer driver now?" When I check the \windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\ folder, I find the drivers there. When i run rpcclient -Uroot%<password> -c 'getdriver Sharp-4501' <DOMAIN CONTOLLER> I get the list of files that I should get. When I run the same command against a windows XP box, i get the same list of drivers, but the dependancy drivers (the long list) is in reverse order from the one I get from the linux machine. does this make a difference? If so, then I would need to re-install the driver again from the rpcclient -c 'adddriver' command, but with the files in the opposite order. I'm happy to supply any information that I might need to. However, its 6:00 pm and i have appointments tonight and probably won't be able to give you any more information before tomorrow. This problem has been driving me crazy for a week.
